According to the traditional list, the gemstone according to the birth month of June, is a pearl – used in jewelry from thousands of years ago until today. Many myths and legends have also formed around this beautiful organic gemstone.

Pearls are naturally associated with qualities such as honesty, transparency, and wisdom. Some cultures also associate this gemstone for June with divine stories and believe that these are tears falling from the sky. Pearls symbolize wisdom and strength, like dragons in Chinese legend.

However, Alexandrite - a relatively new and expensive stone has become the birthstone of June in modern lists.

First discovered in Russia in the 19th century, Alexandrite named after the future Tsar Alexander II. This scarce gem has the ability to change color, often appearing green in daylight and turning purple-red under lamplight.

Alexandrite does not hold ancient meanings, but some people associate the stone with intuition, joy, and luck. In addition, natural Alexandrite has a very high value per carat. 

In some cultures such as Germany and Scandinavia, moonstone is also said to be the gemstone that represents the month of June.
