Birthstones Aries
Aries has two remarkable stones as his or her zodiac sign birthstone. These stones are the bloodstone and the diamond.

Birthstones Taurus
The Taurus is the only zodiac sign that has two full precious gemstones: the gemstones of kings and queens. Of course, we’re talking about the emerald and the sapphire.

Taurus’ birthstone: the Emerald
Emerald is not only Taurus’ birthstone, but also the one from May. The most remarkable thing about the emerald is its color. The emerald is the standard for green (gem)stones for centuries. Emeralds are bluish-green to pure green, with vivid color saturation and a tone that is not too dark. The most expensive emeralds are the ones that are highly transparent. If the stone is too yellowish or too blue, it is not an emerald. That’s when the price drops immensely. The emerald stands for:
