Pretty Stones!

Amethyst

     Hey it's Ashlyn! Today I'm blogging about amethysts and other gems! Amethysts are purple rocks that are the February birthstone. That is my birthstone! The poem for amethysts is...

                  "The February-born shall find sincerity and peace
                   of mind, freedom from passion and from care, if
                   an amethyst they should wear."

 Emeralds are the May birthstone. They are green and come in lots of sizes. The poem for emeralds is...
                                                                          "Who first beholds the light of day,
                                                                             In spring's sweet flowery month of may,
                                                                            And wears an emerald all her life, shall
                                                                            be a loving happy wife."

Diamonds are the April birthstones. They are clear and the hardest stones. The diamond poem is...
                     "They who from April dates their years,
                      Diamonds shall wear, lest her tears,
                       an emblem of innocence she fears."

Sapphires are the September birthstones. They are all shades of blue. The poem is...
                             "A child born when September leaves,
                              are rustling round in the trees,
                               a sapphire on her brow will bind,
                              and help the illness of the mind

Turquoise is the December birthstone. They are obviously turquoise. The poem is...
                                      " If cold December gave you birth,
                                       The month of snow and ice and mirth,
                                       Place in your hand a turquoise blue,
                                        Success will bless whatever you do."


P.S. I don't really get the poems but I just put them on there anyway! :) Here is the link to the wiki site-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthstones Bye!
