The beautiful birthstone for December is turquoise, and this precious stone was once linked to happiness, fortune and luck, making it a very popular gem in centuries gone by, known as the peoples stone in Ancient Egypt.
Turquoise can range in colour from mid-blue to a green-blue or light green to brown colour, and this birthstone is unusual and beautiful, making it a very distinctive and unusual addition to any jewellery collection. To see my turquoise jewellery look here.
Alternatives birthstones for December are Amethyst, Topaz and Ruby
