    If you are celebrating your Birthday (anniversary) during the next three months, hopefully, someone may surprise you with a present which includes your Birth-Month's gemstone.
    Traditionally, a Birthstone is associated with each month of the year.
    For example, the birthstone for January is a garnet, while lucky babies born in March get an aquamarine or a bloodstone as their birthstones.*
    Today's gemologists, gem dealers, jewelers and retailers have adopted (and marketed) numerous gemstones as the "Birthstone(s)" for each of the 12 months.
    In some cases, there may be several gemstones matched to a particular month.
        So accordingly, for tonight's Net, we have selected another OMNI-QUESTION (which is basically 1 Trivia question with 3 Answers) that asks you to identify which gemstones (i.e., birthstones) are commonly linked to the current and/or upcoming three months: July, August & September.
    The OMNI-ANSWER uses each letter only once -- from the non-reuseable answers of "P", "R", and "S".
    For the month-sequence of July, August & September, can you match the correct birthstones with each one of the three months?
    Again, please note that each answer choice should be used only once.

      ++ "Omni-Question -- #04: Birthstones for July, August & September" ++
    Omni-Question: Please match each of the following 3 Birthstones* with its corresponding "Birth-Month" -- in order -- for July, August & September.
    (PLEASE NOTE: There are photos of these gemstones on our Blog here)

++ And Did You Know...? (with a wave to Big Al) ++

January = Garnet

February = Amethyst

March = Aquamarine & Bloodstone

April = Diamond

May = Emerald

June = Pearl, Alexandrite, Moonstone

July = Ruby

August = Peridot

September = Sapphire

    Did you know that the Ruby and the Sapphire varieties are composed of the same basic mineral -- Aluminuim Oxide (Al₂O_{3)?
    They belong to the mineral Corundum Group.
    These gems are the 2nd hardest mineral after the Diamond -- which means you are likely filing your nails (emery board) or sanding some wood (sandpaper) with non-gem quality corundum.
    Only red corundum specimens are called by the name "Ruby"; while a "ruby by any other color" is called a "Sapphire".}
