December birthstone

The December birthstone is Tanzanite: what it means, how to wear it, and whether it makes a good gift for a daughter.

Tanzanite

Tanzanite represents December with its rare violet-blue shimmer. Discovered only in 1967 near Mt. Kilimanjaro, it stimulates the third eye, enhances spiritual communication, and transforms negative energy into positive.

How to wear: Wear as earrings or a pendant — tanzanite is softer than many gems. Turquoise can be worn as a bracelet or ring. Both support throat and third-eye chakras.
