Is There A Legend About How Birthstones Came About?

There are some people that believe it originated in biblical times. There is a verse in the bible where the breastplate of Aaron is referred to in Exodus 39:10-14 as having:

"10 Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there was a ruby, a topaz and a beryl;
11 in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald;
12 in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;
13 in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings.
14 There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes".

It's also said that the exact list of birthstones can be found in Revelation 21:19-20:

"19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst".

Some people think that came from came from the Bible. Others think that the birthstones are tied to the wisdom of ancient Atlantis, where history and myth tell us an advanced race of humans was able to do many things, including flight and astrology. Finally, some believe that the birthstones were found by the original druidic and pagan religions, where it was learned that all stones have a certain vibration that their chemical composition reacts to and that this vibration resonates with the natural vibrations of people born during each month.

The Hindu astrology says that the aura of a person has psychic
vibrations similar to those of some precious stones. Hindu astrology
originated more than a million years ago.
