Jade is actually two separate gems: nephrite and jadeite. Jade is not only found in the color green, but also in white, orange, yellow, lavender, and black. It has its cultural roots in the smoked-simmed caves and hits that sheltered prehistoric humans. Stone Abe workers shaped jade, the toughest of gems, into weapons, tools, ornaments, and ritual objects.

December born are very lucky- they have many options to choose from! The month of December has 3 birthstones- Tanzanite, Turquoise, and Zircon. The common factor between the three: if blue is what you are looking for, all three have their own unique take on the beautiful hue. Where do the many options come into play? The Zircon is available in in a variety of rainbow colors.

Turquoise has been cherished for millennia. The Pharoahs and other rulers of ancient Egypt adorned themselves with it.

Tanzanite is probably the most popular and desired birthstone of the 3. Although relatively new to th worle of colored gemstones, it was one of the most exciting gem discoveries of the 20th century.

The Zircon, during the Middle Ages, was thought to lull one into a deep sleep and scare off evil spirits.
