moss agate ring (source)

June, with health and wealth and many happy years,
Wears an agate lest her sunshine turns to tears.

(Tiffany & Co., 1892)

Thro’ the moss agate’s charm, the happy years
Ne’er see June’s sunshine turn to tears.

(Tiffany & Co., 1909)

Who comes with summer to this earth,
And owes to June her hour birth,
With ring of agate on her hand
Can health, wealth and long life command.

(Tiffany & Co., 1892, 1909)
