April birthstone ~ Diamond
Spring has sprung, and we’re coming up on April! We’d like to be sure time doesn’t slip away before you remember friends and family whose birthdays fall early in the month.
The birthstone for April is the diamond, the “gem of light”.
“The diamond. . . like light itself when broken into a spectrum, gives us all known colors, and by combining all these colors gives us white.”
- George Frederick Kunz, The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, 1913
A diamond symbolizes everlasting love, which is why it is so often chosen for engagement and wedding rings.
According to legend, the qualities and virtues symbolized by the diamond are only obtainable by gift, not by purchase.
