My birthstone is an Emerald the color of May they are dark green. There very pretty but probably wouldn’t be someone’s first choice if we got to choose our birthstones. I like it though. It reminds me of Ireland, I have Irish in me, my great grandmother on my mom’s side was born in Ireland, and when I was in fifth grade my grandparents took me there, we flew into Dublin and then made our way North East to Ballywalter which was where she was born, we stayed there in a cottage hotel. It was like an inn kind of. Ballywalter is a very small town. In the outskirts of the cities in Ireland literally everywhere you look is green. Fields and fields of just really green grass with sheep or hay in them, its beautiful, it looks just like the movies. That’s why my birthstone reminds me of it, when I see dark green I think Ireland, and it always reminds me of a side of my ethnicity that I sometimes seem to forget.
I think I like your dark green emerald better than my light green peridot of August...I think I'd choose April's diamond if I could! How lucky you are to not only be in touch with your heritage but to have had the chance to visit where some of your roots come from. What a trip!
