Since time immemorial, the human being has looked at the sky in search of responses and has found in the earth something equally fascinating: precious stones. Although for centuries they had religious or mystical connotations, today they have taken a new prominence as Personality, protection and even emotional connection symbols. The so -called ‘Natal Piedras’, associated with each month of the year, have aroused the interest of jewelry designers, celebrities and followers of spiritual trends.
The modern tradition of assigning specific stones at each month dates back to the twentieth century, when In 1912 the National Association of Joyeros of the United States established a standard list. Since then, new options for some months have been incorporated, allowing each person to choose the one that best represents him.

- February – Amatista: Related to spiritual wisdom. Those born in February tend to analyze deeply and are intuitive counselors.
