Birthgem

Determines the birthstones from the given month, day of the week or zodiac sign.

This is based on ekimng's package.

• The stone names and zodiac signs names can be in different languages.
• All results are returned into an array except for error codes which are negative integers.

Functions dedicated to zodiac signs are deprecated. Use the package zodiac-signs instead.
