More About December Birthstone
Turquoise is one of the oldest gemstones known to human civilization. Ancient cultures across Persia, Egypt, and the Americas used it in jewelry and ceremonial objects.
The blue green color comes from copper within the mineral.
Tanzanite is a much more recent discovery. Found only in Tanzania in the twentieth century. Its violet blue color quickly made it famous.
Zircon is often confused with cubic zirconia, which is synthetic. Natural zircon is actually an ancient mineral that forms in many colors and has been used for thousands of years.
Together these stones represent protection, transformation, and wisdom.
