March birthstones and symbols

yellow jasper laughing Buddha
Jasper is an alternative birthstone for March! In fact, before 1900 jasper was the gemstone of choice for those born in the month of March. This buddha is made of yellow jasper, but jasper is formed naturally in every color of the rainbow.

So strong and wise, and wilful, firm and brave,
Wears a bloodstone through all danger to her grave.
(Tiffany & Co., 1892)

Who on this world of ours their eyes
In March first open shall be wise,
In days of peril firm and brave
And wear a bloodstone to their grave.
(Tiffany & Co., 1892, 1909)

Who wears a jasper, be life short or long,
Will meet all dangers, brave and wise and strong.
(Tiffany & Co., 1909)
