December Birthstone: Turquoise

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.



Turquoise is actually a mineral that comes in shades ranging from blue to grey-green and is formed when water leaks through chemical-infused rocks.  The shade is determined by the amount of chemicals in the rock formation.  Blue is the preferred gemstone color.

Turquoise represent the properties of prosperity, success, good fortune and happiness.

It is frequently used in Native American jewelry.
