April Diamonds are the traditional April birthstone. Though, different cultures have associated other birthstones with the month of April. They are as follows:
Sapphire- Ancient Romans, Italians, Russians, Hebrews and even Arabic cultures considered Sapphire to be the April Birthstone. Opal- Tibetans were known to refer to Opals as the April birthstone, as were the Ancient Greeks. Quartz- In Britain, Quartz is often referred to as the birthstone for April.

It is due to the diamond´s companies PR that diamond is the only one recognised now. But Sapphire, mostly associated with September, was an April birthstone in ancient times, too. Sapphire was recognised by the ancient Roman, Slavic, Hebrew and Arabic calendars as the April birthstone. Same we see with opals. Opal was hailed the birthstone of April in the ancient Tibetan calendar. So you would have choices, love! <3
OKay now I'm both excited and mad because opal is my FAVORITE and sapphire is a close second. WOW

March- The modern birthstone for March is Aquamarine
Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin for seawater, Aquamarine was believed in ancient times to counteract the forces of darkness and to invite the protection and favor of the spirits of light.
It was often used by sailors as a protective talisman against misfortunes at sea. It is a highly spiritual stone that opens intuition and increases clairvoyance.
It is a wonderful crystal to use in meditation as it invokes high states of consciousness and spiritual awareness. It also encourages service to humanity. This March birthstone was also thought to bring happiness in marriage. Aquamarine symbolizes health,hope, youth, fidelity, loyalty, and truth.

When I lived in Minnesota I lived by a river. I live probably half a mile from the Rio Grande now, but it isn't the same as the lush riverside in Minnesota. The wild life by the river in Minnesota was beautiful. Such as the pileated woodpecker. They are huge!
Subeta's Riverside reminds me of the lush riverside from Minnesota. I would wear something that covers a lot of my skin to protect against the mosquitoes!

Thank you!! :)
Outfit Not Found Veta! Easily walkable, lots to explore. Summer weather is tempered by cooler air from the lake so you could wear a light jacket but not too cool for a skirt so you can enjoy being outside without the extreme temps! Reading a book by the lake, cozy!
Thank you !! :) Congratulations to the other Gemstone winners! :)

I'd love to live in Shengui Guo. I simply adore this place, the landscapes, the colors and the feeling it gives me of visiting a truly magical and peaceful place. I can imagine how the infinite aromas of the marketplace smell, the beautiful Jogoh fabrics that are very soft to the touch, the hot springs, etc. For the HA I took inspo from Zentu baths.
Given the climate for similar areas, I would most likely wear a pair of jeans, with a short sleeve shirt, a pair of sneakers (or Birkenstocks), and a sweater in case I get chilly, but something light enough that I don't overheat, as I'm sure the weather can go from cool to hot quickly.
