December Birthstones: Turquoise, Tanzanite & Zircon

Turquoise.
Found in every major culture for millennia, turquoise is a cherished stone in infinite guises. The rare turquoise featured in our showroom is known as Sleeping Beauty Turquoise-- completely smooth and without a vein matrix. Said to have mystical ties, its appeal makes it an enticing stone.

Tanzanite.
Tanzanite's rich, velvety, blue-violet luster oozes luxury. Prized for its deep hues and mined at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Tanzanian gemstone was catapulted to fame in the late 60's by an international campaign on behalf of Tiffany & Co. Today it is part of the December birthstone lineup and a traditional 24th anniversary gift.

Zircon.
Not to be confused with cubic zirconia, Zircon is a natural stone that can be fashioned in nearly any color of the rainbow. Zircon surfaces in folklore dating back to the Middle Ages. Symbolic of wisdom and health, Zircon rounds out the December birthstone collection with an almost diamond-like scintillation.
