The provided sources contain information about a vintage toy collection rather than gemological data. The "Full O' Beans" Beanie Babies by Avon are plush toys, not gemstones, and the sources offer no information about the physical properties, history, or lore of the actual birthstones (sapphire for September, turquoise for December, emerald for May). Consequently, it is impossible to write a 2,000-word article on the gemstones themselves based solely on these sources.
Below is a brief summary of the information contained in the provided materials, which pertains exclusively to the toy collection.
Summary of Provided Information
The provided sources describe a collectible set of Beanie Babies produced by Avon in the late 1990s. This collection, referred to as "Full O' Beans," was designed to represent birthstones through themed animal characters.
Source [1] details a specific set of three plush toys: * Dune the Camel (Blue, September): A blue camel representing the September birthstone, sapphire. This item was produced in 1999. * Spruce the Moose (Brown, December): A brown moose representing the December birthstone, turquoise. This item was produced in 1999. * Shelly the Turtle (Green, May): A green turtle representing the May birthstone, emerald. This item was produced in 1998.
The listing notes that all items have their tags and are approximately 7 to 8 inches in size. The price listed for this set is $21.
Source [2] is an ended eBay listing for a different but related item: "Avon Kids Birthstone Full O’Beans (1999) - Complete Set - New In Plastic." The listing price was $19.99. The item was located in Sumter, South Carolina, United States, and the listing was ended because the item was no longer available.
Source [3] consists of broad category listings from what appears to be an online marketplace (e.g., eBay). These categories include sections for "Keepsakes & Baby Announcements," "Necklaces & Pendants - Vintage & Antique Jewelry," and "Fisher-Price Preschool Toys." While these categories are tangentially related to the themes of birthstones and vintage collectibles, they do not provide any specific details about the Avon Beanie Babies or the gemstones they represent. They serve only as contextual examples of how such items might be categorized in a marketplace.
Conclusion: The provided sources exclusively discuss a vintage toy set. They contain no gemological, historical, or cultural information about the actual gemstones of September (sapphire), December (turquoise), and May (emerald). Therefore, a comprehensive article on these birthstones cannot be generated from the given materials.
