June

Who comes with summer to this earth,
And owes to June her hour of birth,
With ring of agate on her hand,
Can health, long life and wealth command.

Thro' the moss-agate's charm, the happy years
Ne'er see June's golden sunshine turn to tears.

Even though pearls are now considered the birthstone of the month of June for centuries agates held that honor

The tradition of birthstones arises from the knowledge that the ancient Hebrew high priests wore a breastplate with 12 stones. Each stone represented a tribe of Israel. An agate was the second stone on the third row.
Pearls were believed to rain from the heavens when dragons fought. They were an essential ingredient in many medical potions. Powdered pearls were used to treat heart conditions, blood disorders, and remove evil spirits from the minds of men. They were emblems of purity, innocence and peace.
