If you’re lucky enough to be born in June, you get more than just summer sunshine, you get three different June Birthstones to choose from! These are pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. June is one of only two months with a trio of recognized birthstones. But why?

The reason June has three birthstones is simple: variety and accessibility. Not everyone can afford a rare gemstone like alexandrite, and not everyone loves the classic pearl. To appeal to all preferences and price points, the modern June Birthstone list includes multiple beautiful options.

What is June’s Birthstone?

There isn’t just one June Birthstone—there are three! Each has its own aesthetic and symbolic appeal:

• Pearl – the traditional, organic June Birthstone.

• Moonstone – the mystical and glowing gem tied to the moon.

• Alexandrite – the rare and magical color-changing gemstone.

Whether you're buying a gift or treating yourself, there's a June Birthstone that speaks to your personality and style.

Pearl

Pearl is the oldest and most traditional June Birthstone, treasured for its luminous glow and natural beauty. Unlike most gemstones, pearls come from the sea, not the earth formed within oysters and mollusks.

Pearls symbolize purity, wisdom, and femininity. They’re a perfect choice for heirloom jewelry or a heartfelt gift. Our handcrafted Celtic Pearl Jewelry is a favorite for those seeking meaning and heritage in their June Birthstone jewelry.

Moonstone

Mystical and romantic, moonstone is a favorite among spiritual seekers and lovers of unique jewelry. This June Birthstone is known for its otherworldly shimmer, called adularescence, which glows like moonlight on water.

Moonstone is believed to promote intuition, emotional balance, and feminine energy. A moonstone June Birthstone ring or pendant makes a thoughtful and protective gift.

Alexandrite

Rarest of all the June gems, alexandrite is a color-changing marvel that appears green in daylight and red under incandescent light. This dramatic effect makes it one of the most magical and expensive June Birthstone choices.

Symbolizing luck, creativity, and transformation, alexandrite is ideal for someone who embraces change and craves individuality.
