Wow! That song is a little helpful. It is a bit of a throwback song though. Bye!

My birthstone is Garnet. For my birthday my parents gave me these earrings that are made of Garnet. The earrings itself are pretty heavy for their size. I would not change my birthstone because I like having my birthday in January. Winter makes me feel warm inside and plus Spring agitates my eye allergies. Bye! For real!

My birthstone is the sapphire. I love that my birthstone is the sapphire because blue has always been my favourite colour, plus it starts with the same letter that my last name does. I would not change my birthstone to any other gem!

My birthstone is the Opal. I love this gem because it is actually white with a faint mix of many other colours. It looks so cool! I would not change my birthstone because it kind of reflects on my personality. On the outside, I might have a fixed personality, but really, my personality is a combination of everything. It's a neat way of thinking about it. Also, the word Opal starts with an 'O' and so does the word October. All in all, I think my birthstone is really cool and is perfect for me. I wouldn't want to change it at all. Okay, bye!

I feel so privileged to have the diamond as my birthstone. While I'm not someone who wears much jewellery, I have received a couple of pieces with this special stone.

My birth stone is aquamarine. I would want either opal or stick with aquamarine. I like the look of opal and if pearl and amethyst were combined then it would be very similar to opal. See you all tomorrow.

My birthstone is Garnet. If I had a choice I would change my birthstone to Sapphire because I love the colour blue! I don't really like the colour of Garnet, I just think it's to dark red. Oh, and Mrs. Van I LOVED the Mineral Rock Anthem video it was so funny and the song was so catchy! Well, bye! :)

Oops, I accidentally forgot to delete the bottom part where it says "Find out what your birth stone is. If you had a choice, would you choose to have that one, or choose another one? Why?"

Wow! I think there are lots of January birthdays in our class! Because I'm too! My stone is Garnet. I love it how it sparkles in red. It looks similart to ruby. I want to have one, but I think this will be expensive because it is mineral! It'll cost like billion and million dollars to buy only one! But, I still like the diamond the best. Also, the song was awsomness funny! When I turned it on, my younger brother ran toward me, and then look it at it, then just went back. LOL!

Yes, I am a Diamond. The hardest stone very to be known, yea. Diamond means that my birthday is in April, two more day until my birthday. I would defiantly keep the diamond because for one I love diamonds and two diamonds are worth the most. Talking about birthday's what is your birthday Zodiac, mine is Ares. See you all tomorrow! :D

I actually never knew what my birthstone was until now and mine is peridot because I was born in August. I like my stone and I wouldn't want to have another one because I feel like it was meant to be with me and I should be great with the one I have so I wouldn't want to have a different one. Bye!

I am born in November and the Topaz or the Citrine is my stone. I think the colour is really cool. it's an orangey colour and a tint of yellow. If I had to change it I would probably want the diamond, but I love my stone.

My birthstone is an emerald. I actually have some earrings with 'emeralds' in them. (They're fake) I would also like to have an opal or and aquamarine. I think those two gems are really pretty.

Wow I've actually known my birthstone for a really long time! My birthstone is amethyst. I would choose mine because it varies in purples and sometimes a beautiful pink also it's nice to know there's a stone for your birth month. My dad actually has an amethyst with a silver sun around it. It had a chart inside the case with each birthstone and traits for each one. If I had to choose a different one I do like aquamarine because the colour is such a beautiful blue.

My birthstone is amethyst. I like my stone because it is a really nice colour. The colour is a nice purple or is sometimes a bright pink. I would choose mine because purple is a really nice colour it really stands out.

My birthstone us peridot! I really like it it's a nice light green colour. It would be cool to have a ruby,a sapphire, or a diamond but I still really like peridot a lot!
