There are many ways in which God shows us the beauty of His creations -
In the sky-Beautiful clouds, brilliant sunsets, many-hued rainbows, bright moon and twinkling stars;
On the Earth -Beautiful Mountains, deep valleys, broad rivers, verdant trees, many-coloured flowers;
And under the earth, beautiful, sparkling and valuable gemstones.
Tradition has it that certain gemstones have become associated with certain months of the year.
This months gemstone is Garnet.
The picture of this outstanding gemstone has been provided by MeandMyJeweller and we thank them for their generosity.
