It depends on which method you use to determine the birthstone for Leo.
July 23-Aug. 22 is the Zodiac sign of Leo. The stone that is designated for this zodiac sign is Onyx.
However, if you are talking about birthstones, you have to go by the month: July's birthstone is Ruby, and August's stone is Peridot.
If you go by months - and Leo covers two months - you would then have to look for which month your birthdate falls under that is covered by the Leo sign. Once you do, you also can choose which list of birthstones to go for: Traditional, Modern, Mystical, or Ayurvedic.
The Traditional for July is: Ruby, Onyx
July in Modern, Mystical, and Ayurvedic: Ruby
If your birthdate falls in August, the Traditional for it is: Sardonyx, Carnelian
Modern for August: Peridot
Mystical for August: Diamond
Ayurvedic for August: Sapphire
Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July. Alternative choices are sardonyx and carnelian.
Onyx is the Mystical birthstone for the month of December
The Ruby isn't the birthstone of Leo, it's July's birthstone. The sign Leo covers from July 23rd to August 22nd. The sign Cancer, meanwhile, runs from June 21st to July 22nd. Therefore, the Ruby is the birthstone for some Cancers and some Leos, because they are born in July, not because of their Zodiac sign.
Onyx is not typically associated with any specific month as a birthstone in traditional Western astrology. However, in Hindu astrology, onyx is associated with the month of December. Onyx is also sometimes considered a birthstone for the zodiac sign Leo, which falls between July 23 and August 22.
There is no birthstone for a specific day of a month. Birthstones apply to a whole; making twelve birthstones total. December's birthstones: Traditional - zircon, ruby Modern - turquoise, blue topaz Mystical - onyx Ayurvedic - ruby
Cancer - the Zodiac Sign - is from June 22 to July 22. However Birthstones are listed monthly. So the June birthstone is Pearl (white) and the July birthstone is Ruby (red). Hmmm...now you can also use Rhodalite or Alexandrite for June or Moonstone. Probably (in my very humble opinion)the best color for Cancer birthstone would be Red.
