There is no international standard for birthstones. Lists differ by country and by revision year, which is why published charts disagree.

FAQ
Why do some months have more than one birthstone?
Cost and supply. When a month's stone is rare or expensive, the trade adds affordable alternatives so jewellery remains sellable. Any stone listed for a month counts as that month's birthstone.
Which December birthstone is correct?
All of them. Turquoise was on the original 1912 list, zircon was added in 1952, and tanzanite joined in 2002. Modern US retailers list all three.
Are birthstone lists the same worldwide?
No. The US list comes from the 1912 National Association of Jewelers standard, revised in 1952, 2002 and 2016. Britain's National Association of Goldsmiths issued its own list in 1937, and Japan added ten stones in 2021. There is no international standard.
Which birthstones are durable enough for a ring?
Look at Mohs hardness. Diamond, sapphire, ruby and topaz wear well daily. Opal and pearl are soft and sensitive to moisture, so they suit pendants and earrings better than rings.
