December is the only month with three official birthstones. Here's how to choose between turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon — by personality, color, and meaning.
Born in December? You have three birthstones to choose from: turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon. Each has its own color, meaning, and personality.
Turquoise: warm sky-blue, oldest known gemstone, worn by Egyptian pharaohs. Means luck, friendship, protection. Best for warm-toned skin and bohemian style.
Tanzanite: deep violet-blue, found in only one place on earth (Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania). Means transformation and intuition. Best for cool-toned skin and modern style.
Zircon: brilliant blue or colorless, often mistaken for diamond. Means wisdom and grounding. Best for sparkle lovers.
