Happy Birthday to all those born in December!
Cheers to you, Sagittariuses and Capricorns!
December has not one, not two, but three birthstones: Turquoise, Tanzanite, and Zircon. All of these exquisite gemstones invoke a calming blue tone and have their own unique character in jewelry.
Spiritual attunement, cleansing, healing, protection, valor, soothing, peace of mind, guidance through the unknown, romantic spontaneity.
Turquoise promotes mental and spiritual clarity, enhanced wisdom, trust, kindness and understanding. In the East, turquoise was said to ward off all evil things. It is believed to help relax the mind and relieve mental tensions, calming the emotions and easing stress. Turquoise occurs in many shades of green and blue.
Communication, intuition, protection, symmetry, decision-making, spirituality.
African folklore tells us that tanzanite helps to relax and slow down intense individuals, allowing them to lead less stressful, more productive, healthier lives. This keeps them more organized and sensitive to others around them. Tanzanite acts as an elixir to the soul elevating one’s mood and freeing one from negative habits. Possessing a tanzanite is said to bring luck and fortune to its bearer. Their vibrant violets and brilliant blues make tanzanite famously alluring. Only found in one place on Earth, near Mount Kilimanjaro, tanzanites are far more rare than diamonds.
