Leo Birthstone
The lucky birthstone of an individual is truly associated
with the month of birth rather than the Sign under which a person was born.
The lucky birthstone for Leo individuals born in July is the
ruby.
They share this fortunate jewel with those Cancer
individuals who were also born during the same month. The ruby is often
referred to as the Stone of Love, the Stone of Life, the Stone of Royalty and
the Queen of Gemstones. This jewel is the red variety of the mineral corundum
(a mineral which also includes the sapphire family), which is composed of aluminum
oxide and chrome...as well as extremely small proportions of other trace
elements.
The lucky gem for Leo individuals born in August is the Sardonxy.
They share this fortunate jewel with those Virgo individuals
who were also born during the same month. The sardonyx is also referred to as
the Gem of Courage and the Gem of Virtue. A blend of sard and onyx, this stone
is found worldwide but the best specimens are mined chiefly in Brazil, India,
California and Uruguay.The color bands of sardonyx are white against a black or brownish-red background and it is usually cut into beads or used to fashion cameos and intaglios (reversed cameos).
