December Birthstone: Blue Topaz
Blue topaz is prized for its soothing and captivating blue color,
which is usually divided into three categories: sky blue for the
palest shade, Swiss blue for the more saturated medium shade, and
London blue for the deepest shade. Also known as an artist's
stone, blue topaz is reputed to inspire creativity and enhance
concentration.
History of Birthstones
Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever
wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular
months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old
Testament story of Aaron, whose plate was decorated with
twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of
Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers
and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to
months.
There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical
birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a
thousand years, and birthstones, associated with
ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been
tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective
wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.
The modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known,
was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and
officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore,
or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable
appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold
special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.
