the birthstone for April babies is the iconic Herkimer diamond, a well-known and popular gemstone in the world. Most probably, the month of April is named after the Latin word “aperire”, which can be roughly translated as “to open”. It is named so because flowers begin to open in the month of April. People in ancient times associated the month of April with the goddess Aphrodite (or Venus), the goddess of love, happy marriage, and fertility. Very little is known about the folklore and historical myths of the Herkimer diamond. There are two goddesses associated with this stone – one is Latona, the Roman Goddess of Motherhood and Light, and the other is Angerona, the Roman Goddess of Secrets and Silence. In today’s times, many psychics, intuitives, and people having gifts of channeling and mediumship have become enamored with this crystal and have given it special uses and meanings.
