The Perfect Gift
June's three birthstones are as different from each other as three designated stones can be. Pearl is organic, alexandrite is a rare color-change chrysoberyl, and moonstone is an adularescent feldspar. They span different origins, optical phenomena, symbolic histories, and price points. For a June birthday gift, the three-stone designation is useful. The right choice is about the recipient's aesthetic and the occasion's budget, not a question of which stone is correct.
