“If cold December gave you birth, The month of snow and ice and mirth, Place on your hand a turquoise blue; Success will bless whate’er you do.” ~ Gregorian Birthstone Poems

Did you know that the month of December is the only month that has three birthstones? The other months have only one or two birthstones. December’s birthstones are turquoise, Tanzanite, and blue topaz. Given the bluish hue to all of these stones, it’s not hard to guess, then, that December’s color is blue. While you might have already known blue is the color for December, did you also know that turquoise made its way to Europe via Turkey and hence derives its name from Turkey? Or that Tanzanite derives its name from the country of Tanzania, the only country in the world where you can find this rare and beautiful gem. And here’s one more fact for you: December’s other birthstone, the blue topaz, also happens to be the state gem for Texas.

So, those are the fun facts for now. More interesting facts, updates, and JewelryThis news coming soon in our next blog post.
