December is the last month of the year. Turquoise, Zircon, and the Tanzanite are the three birthstones for anyone born in the month of December. Turquoise is a French word meaning Turkish stone. The stone is so called because it has a history that is traceable to a European Country named Turkey.
“Turquoise, the “fallen sky stone” hidden in Mother Earth, has been valued by cultures for its beauty and reputed spiritual and life-giving qualities for over 7000 years. It is a true gem of the centuries. Here turquoise is more precious than gold, an enduring expression of Native American Indian culture.”
In the past Turquoise was often used as Amulets or Talisman. Qualities like strength, sensitivity, and protection against evil have also been associated with the Turquoise. Some believed it gives power for wealth and success, while others agreed it fosters peace and good neighborliness.
The German word Zirkon, which in Arabic is Zarqun, and Zargun in Persia, are the well-known origins of Zircon, the second of the December birthstones. This is a gemstone that has purity, integrity, and dignity. The wearer of this birthstone is seen to be protected from illness, ill intentions, and from all sorts of adversaries. Another upside to the birthstone is of its perceived healing properties.
And it is not until recently that Tanzanite was added to the December Birthstones. Tanzania, an African Country, is the place for this gemstone, little wonder about its name “Tanzanite.” This stone is famous too! It shot into the limelight after a diamond-laced Tanzanite pendant was seen in the blockbuster movie “The Titanic.” This iconic piece of jewelry is known as “The Heart of the Ocean Necklace” and looks like this:

Before and after then Tanzanite has remained relevant owing to how it is believed to create a connection to the spiritual realm. As well, Tanzanite is being thought to keep the dignity and integrity of the wearer intact ditto to bringing him peace of mind.
December Birthstone Color
The three December birthstone colors have their unique characteristics for which they have become desirable and valuable. The biggest of such features is the different hues for which each one of the December birthstones is identifiable. For instance, the blue color, specifically the sky blue color of the Turquoise, is usually the most expensive.
Another color in which the Turquoise is mostly seen is green. This is usually due to the presence of iron. And for the most times that the gemstone are seen to be gray, it is often due to its crystal structure.
The Zircon, by the way, are seen in shades of hues of blue, green, red, pink, brown, gold, yellow, or sometimes they are even found to be colorless. So much for why many of the crystals of Zircon as seen around happened to have been thermally treated just so they appear in the color they have appeared. Zircon is found to be colorless or pale yellow in its natural form. And for this variant of the December birthstone, the honey colored stones are the rarest while the red and blue hues are the most coveted.
Typically the Tanzanite gemstones are violet or blue in color. At other times they could be greenish or greenish-blue. If the Tanzanite is found to be violet in color, then the vanadium element present in it is definitely responsible.
