Turquoise & Tanzanites
December's Birthstones
Turquoise and tanzanite are the birthstones for December, each embodying distinct qualities that resonate with the winter season. Turquoise, with its characteristic blue-green color, symbolizes good fortune and success. It is believed to bring peace to the home and good health to the wearer, reflecting the values of harmony and renewal during the festive month. Tanzanite, discovered more recently and exclusive to Tanzania, dazzles with its deep blue and violet hues, symbolizing transformation and wisdom, fitting for the reflective end of the year.
Historically, turquoise has been prized by many cultures for its protective qualities, while tanzanite is cherished for its rarity and beauty. Both stones capture the essence of December's themes of celebration and contemplation, making them meaningful choices for those born in this winter month, offering a blend of tradition and the promise of new beginnings.
