Beautiful Turquoise is the traditional December birthstone. It has been revered for centuries.

Turquoise was believed by ancients to protect one from falling off a horse and came to be used for protection against falls of any kind. It represents strength and protection from harm. It is a talisman of luck, success, ambition and creativity and also brings peace to the home. The true meaning of turquoise comes from the heart and the soul of the person wearing it.

African Turquoise is actually not turquoise at all. It is a form of jasper found in Africa. It looks very much like turquoise and is often sold as turquoise. African Turquoise meaning: a stone to help ease mood swings, it helps encourage acceptance and sooth emotional aggravation. It is said to bring sparkle to the spirit and believed to attract prosperity, success, love, healing, courage, and friendship.
