The birthstone for December is Blue Zircon.
Colored gemstones have been among the most popular form of jewelry. The bright colors of gems give them each a unique personality. Individual’s personal taste in color often dictates preferences for a particular stone.

One gemstone is blue zircon, which is the birthstone for December. They come in a variety of other colors such as red, violet, green, yellow, and brown.

They have found zircon in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Australia, Brazil, Korea, Mozambique, Cambodia, Nigeria, Tanzania, and also Vietnam.

Many colored gemstones have legends, myths, and healing properties associated with them. They say blue zircon will help increase spirituality and help with insomnia.*

An alternative birthstone that is often used for December is blue topaz, which is similar in color to blue zircon. One advantage to wearing blue topaz is that it is a harder stone than Zircon. Care must still be taken when wearing Topaz as with all gemstones.

At Americus Diamond we have blue topaz mounted in earrings, pendants, and rings. If you have a special someone with a birthday in December visit our showroom and let us help you find that perfect gift.
