Birthstones are thought to resonate with the essential character of the person born in that month, and consequently to bring the person luck.  The Egyptians, Babylonians and Assyrians all believed that colored stones had healing properties.  Today, Crystal Healers claim that certain crystals, particularly quartz, yield healing energy when placed on the body.
