The first men, our ancient ancestors, found them protruding from the ground and amidst rock the formations that were right in their neighborhood. Later, these shining objects would be come to be known as “Tears of Heaven”, and “Supernatural Drops of Blood”. Mesopotamians were some of the earliest astronomers, and they knew the Amethyst Gem Stones they found were special. So, they looked to the heavens for an answer, and began assigning the various stones to the celestial bodies circling the sun. Then they began cataloguing certain human traits that might be attributed to the gemstones. The modern-day concept of birthstones probably originated during this period of history. Eventually, certain gems were assigned to different months of the zodiac.
