Birthstones are usually semi precious gems. Some are man made simulated gems. When looking for any semi precious gems the deeper the color of the gem makes it a better gem to buy. The man made ones will also look very dark in color so you need to ask a jeweler if the gem is "real" or "created" when looking at them.

A birthstone is the "gemstone associated with the date of one's birth, the wearing of which is commonly thought to bring good luck or health. Supernatural powers have long been attributed by astrologers to certain gemstones." Birthstones come in a colorful array of sparkling jewels and glowing gemstones, each one with its own place in history and myth. From folklore tales, Biblical texts, and the annals of history, these gems have had a special place in both the hearts and minds of humanity. January Birthstone
