DECEMBER BIRTHSTONES TANZANITE, ZIRCON, AND TURQUOISE
We celebrate the end of the month with a bang. When it comes to December birthstones, they provide this coveted ‘bang’. Your choice ranges through the rarest gem, a stone that originated its own color, and a jewel born in a volcano.
December Birthstones Meaning
Tanzanite is found in a single place on Earth, in Tanzania, hence the name. This blue-purple mineral is often called the gem of the 20th century because it was found only in 1967. Tanzanite is a fairly expensive December birthstone due to its rarity and amazing properties. It displays an optical phenomenon pleochroism, which is manifested in various color transitions when a stone is viewed at different angles. There are also specimens with alexandrite effect – they are blue in daylight and purple in incandescent light. You can also get cat’s eye tanzanite.
Zircon is a December birthstone of volcanic origin. The Persian word ‘zargun’ stands for golden. It is true, zircons feature golden hues, plus they exist in orange, red, green, and blue colors. When zircons are heated, irradiated, or placed under the UV light, they start glowing. Similar to tanzanite, they can boast pleochroism.
The most affordable of December birthstones is turquoise. This opaque gem with a statement color is considered a talisman of victors. It is believed that young turquoise specimens are on the bluish side and mature stones get greener. Regardless of its color, turquoise displays intricate veins, which are the remnants of mother rock.
