    *There are many different modern gemstones used in place of traditional these days. While I have many listed, it is not a full list of what is accepted as a modern birthstone. I have done some research and have only included stones that I have seen multiple mentions of. I encourage everyone to do their own research to see what stones best reflect their own sign.
