After a good bit of research in an attempt to determine the origin of how certain gemstones came to be attached to
the days of the week, it seems that the origins are... well, highly uncertain. Lists are indeed posted on various corners of the
web, but citations for the said lists seem to go unstated, time after time.
So the list posted below is posted with trepidation -- it seems to be the most popular/common list, but also seems to have no roots in history
or tradition. Could it be a list concocted by the jewelry industry for those people who don't care for their
traditional birthstone? That's certainly one possibility. Could it be a list
created by an author in need of filler material for a book? Also possible. It's just unclear.
If we find additional information, we'll be sure to share it. In the meantime:
