In many cultures, the time of your birth, the day, the month, or even the moon, holds special significance. We've put together our [Birthstone Collection]( complete with 12 pen and ink pairings to match their corresponding birthstones. Discover if your favorite pen was meant to be! [What's Hot?] [January Garnet] Favored among the likes of ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and Roman statesmen, the garnet is one of the most common and colorful gemstones. The deep rich color of [Graf von Faber-Castell Garnet Red]( perfectly captures the luscious hue of this glittering gem, especially when flowing from the nib of the perfectly coordinating [Kaweco Classic Sport in Bordeaux](. [February Amethyst] The amethyst, with its rich purple hue, has long been a favorite among royalty. This gemstone is also associated with Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, and rumored to be worn as a ring by St. Valentine. The combination of [Monteverde Amethyst]( ink and a [Pilot Metropolitan Purple Retro Pop]( fountain pen will reign supreme in any February baby's heart. [March Aquamarine] March's birthstone, aquamarine, is a blue beauty whose name is directly taken from the words for water and the sea. Once thought to protect sailors and keep them safe on the open waters, aquamarine is steeped in nautical significance. The pairing of a [Pilot Plumix Light Blue]( fountain pen filled with [Robert Oster Australian Sky Blue]( will churn up a sea of passionate prose. [April Diamond] Marilyn Monroe sang, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Once you feast your eyes on the [TWSBI Diamond 580]( and [Diamine Moon Dust]( you'll surely be singing their praises, too. The clear body of the pen and shimmer particles in the ink will shine as bright as the clearest diamond out there! [May Emerald] May is the height of spring and blossoms with lush greenery, thus the choice of emerald to represent this marvelous month. [J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor]( has become a cherished gem in the fountain pen world. The crisp italic nib on the [Aurora Ipsilon Green]( fountain pen will do this phenomenal ink justice and the green color mirrors an emerald perfectly. [June Alexandrite] Called an "emerald by day, ruby by night," alexandrite is definitely the most unconventional of the birthstones. This color-changing mineral was originally discovered in Russia and appears to be a green shade in sunlight and fluorescent light, but turns to a dusky purple-red by candle or lamplight. We showcase both possibilities with the [Lamy Al-Star Purple]( fountain pen and [Robert Oster Peppermint](. [July Ruby] Rubies have a long-standing place in history as the gems of royalty. Bring the power of this deep red gem by picking up the [Pilot Stargazer Ruby Red]( fountain pen filled with [Monteverde Ruby]( ink. The golden sheen and gorgeous shading of the ink will shine when using the smooth 14kt nib of the Stargazer. Your writing will outshine all the rest! [August Peridot] The gemstone variety of the mineral olivine, peridot is primarily found encased inside of lava flows and molten rock. It provides the perfect inspiration for a pen and ink pairing to write away the last golden summer days of August. The rich golden-green of [Monteverde Olivine]( plays perfectly against the swirled body of the [Delta Journal in Olive](. [September Sapphire] Nobility. Truth. Sincerity. Faithfulness. Sapphires have adorned some of the most famous engagement rings in recent history and have historically been worn by royalty and the clergy. Our sapphire inspired pairing is the [Edison Beaumont Sapphire Flake]( fountain pen and [Robert Oster Midnight Sapphire]( ink! [October Opal] Opal is definitely one of the more intriguing gems on this list and finding a pen and ink to match took some imagination. It is often described as kaleidoscopic and features a rainbow of colors. To capture this stone's multicolored appearance, we chose the [Visconti Van Gogh Self Portrait]( and paired it with [Diamine Pink Glitz]( [November Topaz] Did you know that the word "topaz" originates from the Sanskrit word for fire? Fan the flames of your inspiration with the [Conklin Duragraph Amber]( fountain pen, inked with [Monteverde Topaz](. This pen is a much-loved part of many fountain pen collections, sturdy and iconic for any time inspiration strikes. [December Turquoise] A harbinger of good health, good fortune, and protection from evil, turquoise is the hallmark of jewelry for Native Americans in the southwest. To capture the cool blue beauty of this stone, we've chosen the eye-catching [Edison Nouveau Premiere Caribbean Sea]( fountain pen and [Noodler's Navajo Turquoise]( ink as its complement.
