June’s birthstones, explained
Pearl, Alexandrite
June has three modern birthstones: pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone. Pearl rates 3 on the Mohs scale and rewards gentle care, while alexandrite rates 8 and suits daily wear. We handcraft jewelry in both.
Meaning and Properties
Pearls have symbolized purity and wisdom for millennia, the only gems made by living creatures. Alexandrite, named for Tsar Alexander II, is associated with luck and transformation, shifting from green in daylight to red under lamplight.
Chakra and Energy
June’s stones are associated with the crown chakra, the energy center tied to intuition and inner wisdom. Pearl is believed to bring calm and centeredness, while alexandrite is linked to adaptability and renewal.
June Birthstones and Zodiac
June spans two zodiac signs: Gemini (May 21 to June 20) and Cancer (June 21 to July 22). Pearl is the primary Cancer birthstone, and alexandrite is recognized for both signs. Explore our zodiac jewelry collection.

Pearl: Properties and Meaning
Pearl is the primary birthstone for June, a tradition that spans centuries. Pearls are formed inside mollusks when a small irritant triggers nacre deposition over two to four years. Unlike every other gemstone, pearl is organic. Pearl rates 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the softer gemstones, so it benefits from careful handling. It is the traditional gift for the 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries.
Pearl and the Third Eye Chakra
Pearl is associated with the third eye chakra, the energy center connected to intuition, wisdom, and inner clarity. It is considered a stone of emotional balance and honest self-reflection.
Pearl and Zodiac Signs
Pearl is the birthstone for both Gemini (May 21 to June 20) and Cancer (June 21 to July 22). It complements Gemini's communicative nature and Cancer's nurturing qualities. Explore our zodiac jewelry collection.
Alexandrite: Properties and Meaning
Alexandrite is a rare variety of chrysoberyl, first discovered in Russia's Ural Mountains in 1834. Its color change, caused by trace chromium in the crystal structure, shifts the stone from green in daylight to purplish-red under incandescent light. Natural alexandrite is rarer than diamond per carat; we use lab-created alexandrite with the same chemical composition and color-changing properties. Alexandrite rates 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the most durable colored gemstones available. It is also the traditional gift for the 55th wedding anniversary.
Alexandrite and the Heart and Crown Chakras
Alexandrite is associated with both the heart chakra and the crown chakra. Its dual-color nature reflects its symbolic role as a stone of transformation and balance between the physical and spiritual.
Alexandrite and Zodiac Signs
Alexandrite is the birthstone for both Gemini (May 21 to June 20) and Cancer (June 21 to July 22). Its association with transformation and adaptability aligns with Gemini's duality, while its heart chakra connection suits Cancer's emotional depth. Explore our zodiac jewelry collection.
