    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: April, May and June.
    The OMNI-ANSWER uses each letter only once -- from the non-reuseable answers of "A", "B", and "C".
    For the month sequence of April, May and June, can you match the correct birthstones for each one of the three months?
    Again, please note that each answer choice should be used only once.

       ++ "Omni-Question -- #02: Birthstones for April, May & June" ++
    Omni-Question: Please match each of the following 3 Birthstones* with its corresponding "Birth-Month" -- in order -- for April, May and June.

Match the Gem to the Month

April = May = June =

A. Diamond B. Emerald C. Pearl, Alexanderite, Moonstone

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

January = Garnet

February = Amethyst

March = Aquamarine & Bloodstone

    The Moonstone is considered to be one of Collins's best novels, and it is usually read within two traditions: sensational fiction and detective fiction. Collins himself wrote the first novel termed "sensation"—The Woman in White. The novels which he wrote in 1860s up to The Moonstone exist within the tradition of the sensation novel, a subgenre of the Victorian novel that was particularly popular in the 1860s. Sensation novels seemingly attempted to excite or frighten with dramatic disclosures and somewhat graphic violence. They took the horror of Gothic fiction and incorporated it within a domestic setting—instead of castles, sensation novels took place in English country estates or London houses. The subject matter of the novels often stemmed from a gripping journalistic story—Collins borrowed details of the case of The Moonstone from the Road Murder Case of 1860 (the crime was the murder of a young boy and the conviction hinged upon a missing, stained dress). He additionally borrowed details of the assault on Septimus Luker and Godfrey Ablewhite in The Moonstone from the media story of an attempted murder on a man in Northumberland Street in London in 1861.
    In addition to partaking of characteristics of the sensation fiction genre, The Moonstone also inaugurated an entirely new genre—detective fiction. In 1928, the poet and critic T. S. Eliot declared The Moonstone "the first, the longest, and the best of the modern English detective novel." Though mystery stories, such as those of Edgar Allen Poe, predate The Moonstone, it was the first novel to hold an undisclosed crime and criminal as its center and to make the detection of both by professionals and amateurs alike, the process of the plot. Many of The Moonstone's elements have since become classic features of the detective novel: the eventual conviction of the least-likely suspect; a bungling investigation led by local police and taken over by a more perceptive, slightly eccentric detective; and the "fair-play" format by which no information is concealed from us by the narrator at any given point.
