There are 12 months, from January's garnet to December's turquoise, and several months have more than one accepted stone — June, for example, is pearl, alexandrite, or moonstone. Everything is worked out in your browser; no birth date, time, or personal data is required or collected.

How the quiz works

Each round asks in one of two directions — it either shows a month and asks for its birthstone, or shows a birthstone and asks for its month — and offers four choices. Pick the answer you think matches; the quiz marks it right or wrong, reveals the correct pairing, and keeps a running score, current streak, and best streak for the session.
