What is the Birthstone for June?

People with June birthdays are lucky enough to have multiple birthstones, making the summer transition month as unique as they come. Pearl, Alexandrite, and Moonstone are the three most common birthstones attributed to June.

Not only is this gem stunning in its physical features, but it is also incredibly durable. This is considered an alternate birthstone of June.

Moonstone

Also known as the Stone of Security, the Moonstone is considered another alternative birthstone of June. According to Hindu mythology, the Moonstone is made of solidified moonbeams.
