Turquoise is the chosen gemstone for the star sign Sagittarius and those born in the winter month of December. Turquoise is the gemstone to celebrate 5th and 11th wedding anniversaries.
As part of a year long Gregorian Birthstone Poem, December’s verse quotes wearing a turquoise ring as the key to success.
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.
(Published in 1870 by Tiffany & Co, author unknown)
Mottled blue green turquoise is considered one of the most precious gemstones in the world. In folklore, Turquoise Rings are said to encourage wealth and power, bringing good luck, success and happiness to the wearer.
