Re: Birthstones!
No, don't really believe in it. I know that some tasbeeh designers choose particular stones such as turquoise because they are believed to have soothing effects. My birthstone for August is the Peridot, also known as faridot in arabic and it's bright lime green. Other sotnes I like include pinkish-red rubies, opals, turquoise, amethyst, sapphire.
