Most Common Birthstone for December
Turquoise
Turquoise is a semi-translucent to the opaque gem that ranges in color from blue to green and is frequently veined with matrix (remains of the rock from which it formed). For millennia, this December birthstone has been prized, and Pharaohs and other rulers of ancient Egypt wore it as a symbol of their power. It was crafted by Chinese artists around 3,000 years ago.
The turquoise birthstone was supposed to have various favorable properties, including ensuring good health and riches. It was thought to protect the wearer from falling (especially of horses) from the 13th century onwards and would shatter into several pieces as disaster approached. The Hindu mystics believed that seeing a turquoise after witnessing the new moon guaranteed great fortune.
Native Americans wore turquoise as a birthstone, and it played an essential role in their life. The Apache believed that turquoise could be discovered by following a rainbow to the end. They also believed that affixing the December birthstone to a bow or firearm improved the accuracy of one’s aim. The Pueblo believed turquoise was created by lizards scurrying across the soil, whereas the Hopi believed it was created by lizards scurrying across the earth.
Tanzanite
Tanzanite was one of the most thrilling gem discoveries of the twentieth century, despite being a relative newcomer to the world of colored stones. In 1962, the mineral zoisite was discovered in blue stones in Tanzania. Prospectors didn’t find the Merelani Hills, the principal source for this December birthstone, until 1967. It was finally given the name tanzanite in honor of the country where it was discovered. The deep and saturated hue of the tanzanite birthstone, which varies from a pure, rich blue to violet, with the blue being the most precious, is sometimes described as “velvety.”
Tiffany & Co. recognized the international popularity of tanzanite and became its primary distributor. Tiffany began a significant advertising push to market it in 1968. Tanzanite immediately became a phenomenon due to its vibrant hues, exceptional clarity, and possibility for huge cut stones. It is now not just the birthstone for December, but also the jewel for the 24th wedding anniversary.
Zircon
The origins of the word “zircon” have been the subject of heated discussion. According to some academics, it is derived from the Arabic term zarkun, which means “cinnabar” or “vermilion.” Others believe the term argue, which means “gold-colored” is the origins. Given the wide spectrum of colors associated with this December birthstone — red, orange, yellow, brown, green, and blue – any derivation is plausible. Colorless zircon is famed for its brilliance and flashes of multicolored light, known as fire, which has caused it to be confused with diamond for ages.
This December birthstone was considered to soothe one into a deep sleep and ward off evil spirits throughout the Middle Ages. Zircon alternates with hessonite garnet as one of the nine jewels of the navaratna in Hinduism. The nine stones protect the user and bestow prosperity, knowledge, and good health when worn collectively.
Blue zircon was popular with Victorians. Fine specimens can be found in 1880s English estate jewelry.
How to Clean Tanzanite?
This December, the birthstone is resistant to the impacts of regular heat, light, and ordinary chemicals (6 to 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness). Even so, if exposed to extremely high temperatures or rapid temperature changes, the December birthstone may break, and it abrades quickly. Hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids are also toxic to it.
The blue to violet colors that distinguish this December birthstone originate from the heat-treated brownish zoisite to obtain the blue to violet hues. The resulting color is permanent, and there are no further worries about longevity.
The most acceptable way to wear your tanzanite birthstone is in earrings or pendants. While not suggested for daily wear in a ring, this December birthstone can be a lovely special-occasion jewel with a protective mounting and minimal care.
How to Clean Turquoise?
Some turquoise is treated to improve its durability, look, and polish (it has a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6). Turquoise can be stained or chemically modified for additional hardness or color by adding an epoxy or acrylic resin. Cavities filled with metal-loaded epoxy to resemble pyrite inclusions can also be detected.
Turquoise is light-resistant, although excessive heat can cause discoloration and fracture. Acids can damage your turquoise birthstone, and certain chemicals, cosmetics, and even skin oils or perspiration can discolor it. Turquoise jewelry can be washed safely with warm, soapy water, but it should never be cleaned with steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Some turquoise-treated surfaces can be damaged by heat or chemicals.
What is the Tradition of Birthstone?
Birthstone jewelry has been a popular trend in both Western and Eastern cultures for centuries. The concept of a gemstone representing a person’s birth month has been the same worldwide. The gemstones associated with the months, on the other hand, have evolved over time.
The 12 gems set into the breastplate of a Jewish priest, as described in the Bible, are thought to be the origin of the tradition. The idea of using a gemstone that represents various qualities to represent a month gained popularity over time.
There were no hard and fast standards, and many people were more concerned with the stone’s color than with the variety. For example, garnet and ruby were once used interchangeably as January birthstones because of their similar colors. Today, tanzanite, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and blue topaz are still used interchangeably as December birthstones since they are all blue stones.
Because of this widespread misunderstanding, the American National Association of Jewelers publicly agreed on a single list of birthstones in 1912.
