Birthstone Finder
March birthstone
Aquamarine
Traditional: Bloodstone
Birth flower: Daffodil, Jonquil
Pick a birth month and this tool returns both its modern birthstone (or stones — several months have more than one, like June's pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite) and its traditional birthstone, alongside that month's Victorian-tradition birth flower.
The modern list reflects the birthstone standardization published by U.S. jewelry trade associations in the 20th century; the traditional list reflects older, centuries-old custom. Where the two differ — March's aquamarine versus bloodstone is the clearest example — this tool shows both rather than picking one, matching the same distinction covered in depth on each month's /birthstones/ page.
Every result links to that month's full birthstone page for the geology, color range, and care notes behind each stone, plus a link to GemLuma for deeper crystal and gemstone lore.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some months have more than one modern birthstone?
The modern birthstone list has been revised more than once since it was first standardized, and several months (June, August, October, November, December) picked up an additional stone along the way rather than replacing the original.
What's the difference between the modern and traditional birthstone?
The traditional list reflects centuries-old custom passed down largely unchanged; the modern list was standardized in the 20th century by U.S. jewelry trade associations, partly to give every month a widely available, affordable option.
Does the Birthstone Finder also show birth flowers?
Yes — each result includes that month's Victorian-tradition birth flower alongside its birthstones, since both are commonly looked up together.
