“If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a turquoise<\/span> blue;
Success will bless whate’er you do.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you are a December baby you have a great choice of stones to celebrate your “cold December” birth!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

While the Traditional December Birthstones have long been Turquoise and Blue Zircon, the substitution of Blue Topaz for the hard to find Blue Zircon is a widely accepted practice.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
But today, thanks in part to the Jewelry selling networks on television and internet access we are able to more readily find Blue Zircon…Great news for the purists out there!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

…and in recent times there has been a push to add Tanzanite to the list of December alternative Birthstones. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Quite appropriately Tanzanite has long been used in Tanzania as a stone that represented new birth and is presented to new Mothers. So representing the month that gives birth to a new year seems logical!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
