Why does the Taurus Zodiac Sign have More than One Birthstone?

Taurus is the only sun sign with two precious gems as its birthstones; Emerald and Diamond. Known as the gemstones of kings and queens, both these gemstones bestow different physical, emotional, and metaphysical properties on the wearer. 

Emerald was the traditional birthstone for this sun sign. But, considering the volatile temperament of the Taureans, one more birthstone was added to its kitty.
