There are several interpretations as to how birthstones came to correspond with specific birth months and different cultures have different beliefs regarding this.

Aaron, the brother of Moses, is named the first High Priest of the Jews and along with that charge comes a detailed description of the breastplate of the High Priest, adorned with twelve gemstones to represent the twelve tribes of Israel.
