So, if you or your sweetheart have a garnet, expect a long-lasting, unshakeable bond. Just make sure you both don’t chase after the same squirrel.
February – Amethyst: The Peacekeeper
For my February-born friends, you’re blessed with the amethyst. This purple beauty brings balance and peace to relationships.

Just steer clear of making mountains out of molehills, and you’ll be golden.

March babies, you’ve got the lovely, calming aquamarine. A chill, easy-going gem that signifies harmony, and boy, do you bring that into your relationships.

July folks, hold onto your hats because you’ve got the ruby. A symbol of intense passion and energy, you love full-heartedly. You’re like a roaring fire keeping the relationship warm and exciting.

Ah, August-born, with the peridot you bring sunshine and cheer. You’re the life of the party in relationships, always lighting up the room with your joyful and optimistic nature.

September kiddos, with the sapphire, you’ve got a heart of blue, symbolizing wisdom and protection. You guard your relationships with the diligence of a virtuous knight.
