December Birthstone Tanzanite & Turquoise

Tanzanite and Turquoise Birthstones

The beautiful lavender-colored tanzanite and the turquoise turquoise are the birthstones for the month of December.

These two blue gemstones are truly incomparable — so different yet both beautiful. The blue tanzanite is a gemstone you can always wear. The lovely, cheerful turquoise is the gemstone you prefer to wear when the sun shines.

Turquoise Birthstone

  • According to Hindu traditions, this blue beauty also brings wealth. Look at a turquoise as soon as you observe the new moon, and according to this legend, abundance will come your way.
  • In addition to a beautiful blue color, some turquoise varieties from America also have wonderful names. What do you think of Sleeping Beauty, Robin's egg blue, or Sky blue?
  • Pharaohs of ancient Egypt and Native Americans already used this stone for protection and healing.
  • But the Chinese were also familiar with this beautiful blue material. More than 3,000 years ago, they made magnificent sculptures of turquoise, both small and large.

Tanzanite Birthstone

  • The beautiful tanzanite is only found in Tanzania, near the Kilimanjaro massif.
  • Tanzanite was first discovered only in 1967.
  • Despite the 'young age' of tanzanite, the gemstone is closely associated with angels and spiritual guides.
  • The blue gemstone is also known for helping to strengthen your intuition and guiding you on inner journeys. A wonderful meditation stone.
  • It alleviates any worries. The effect of tanzanite is actually an extra excuse to purchase a piece of jewelry. 😊
