Both the modern and the official May birthstone is the Emerald and thus the May birthstone color is green. The alternative birthstone for May is traditionally Agate, and in recent times also the green gemstone Chrysoprase.

Emerald is one of the Zodiac birthstones for Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21), and both Agate and Chrysoprase are Zodiac birthstones for the Gemini (May 22 – Jun 21) star sign.

Other birthday symbols include the birth flowers for May which are Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn.

Happy Birthday!
