The three birthstones associated with December according to wixonjewelers.com are Tanzanite, Zircon, and Turquoise
Tanzanite
Discovered in the late 1960s in Tanzania, and found exclusively in this tiny area of the world, tanzanite is a rich violet-blue color. Colors range from blue to purple, and tanzanites that are medium dark in tone and slightly violet blue can be very expensive. Since tanzanite can be less expensive than sapphire, it was often bought as an alternative to that stone. However, it has increased in popularity and now is valued more for its own beauty and brilliance than as a sapphire substitute. It is said to have the power to transform negative energies into positive ones, dispels lethargy and brings repressed feelings to the surface so that they can be expressed, the immune system, regenerates cells, and treats the heart, spleen, pancreas, lungs, head, throat, and chest. The stone is also a great detoxifier. It also has the ability to neutralize over acidification and reduce inflammation.
Zircon
This gem’s name comes from the Arabic words zar and gun, meaning gold and color, zircon comes in a wide range of colors such as: blue, yellow, orange, brown, green, colorless, and red (the most prized color). For many years colorless zircon was used to imitate diamonds. The metaphysical properties of zircon say that it has the power to relieve pain, whet the appetite, protect travelers from disease and injury, ensure a warm welcome, and prevent nightmares guaranteeing a deep, tranquil sleep.
Turquoise
The name turquoise, from the French expression Pierre tourques or Turkish stone. This name originated in the thirteenth century and describes one of the oldest known gemstones. Turquoise varies in color from greenish blue, through robin's egg-blue, to sky blue shades. Turquoise is a valued power stone. It will strengthen and align all of the Chakras; and can be used to cleanse energy centers. As a meditation tool, it can assist in clearing the mind, opening you to the Universal All.
