What is December’s Birthstone?
December is adorned with the captivating beauty of two birthstones: Tanzanite and Blue Topaz. These gemstones, each with its unique allure, make for exceptional choices when celebrating December birthdays. Tanzanite, prized for its deep blue and violet hues, exudes elegance and sophistication. On the other hand, Blue Topaz, with its varying shades of blue, symbolises tranquillity and good fortune. Whether you're contemplating a meaningful gift or contemplating a personal addition to your jewellery collection, December's birthstones offer a splendid opportunity to infuse a touch of individuality and charm.
Why Does December Have Multiple Birthstones?
December is unique among months as it boasts not one, but two enchanting birthstones: Tanzanite and Blue Topaz. This duality stems from historical and cultural variations in the list of birthstones. While Blue Topaz has long been associated with December, Tanzanite was added more recently to offer individuals born in this month an alternative and equally captivating gemstone. The practice of having multiple birthstones provides individuals with choices, allowing them to select a stone that resonates more personally with their preferences, style, or the unique qualities attributed to each gem. Ultimately, this dual representation adds a layer of richness and diversity to December's birthstone tradition.
Tanzanite: A Symphony of Violet Elegance
Discovered in the heart of Tanzania in 1967, Tanzanite has graced the world of jewellery with its enchanting presence. Ranking 6.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it's not just a testament to beauty but also durability. Traditionally associated with 24th-anniversary celebrations, Tanzanite exhibits a rich violet hue that dances with different lights.
Symbolism and Spiritual Essence:
Beyond its aesthetic charm, Tanzanite is believed to embody purity, intuition, and intellect. It serves as a symbol of truth, dignity, judgment, and longevity. Additionally, this gemstone is thought to activate psychic abilities, resonating with the throat, third eye, and crown chakras - facilitating communication with higher spiritual dimensions.
Gifts that Speak Volumes:
Explore our collection at T.H.Baker, featuring stunning Tanzanite earrings, pendant necklaces, and Tanzanite and Diamond rings. Choose the perfect gift that encapsulates the essence of December birthdays, expressing purity and profound connections.
Blue Topaz: Icy Elegance from Winter's Embrace
For those seeking an alternative birthstone, Blue Topaz emerges as a beacon of icy elegance. While most are found in Brazil, the discovery of Blue Topaz in Texas adds an intriguing touch to its origin story. This stone, with its cool blue tones, seamlessly aligns with the wintry feel of December birthdays.
Meaning and Positivity:
Blue Topaz is not just a gem; it's a bearer of meaning. Symbolising loyalty and love, it represents enduring relationships and friendships that delve deeper than the surface. Linked to positivity, this gem is believed to uplift moods and accompany you on every journey.
