December has three recognized birthstones: blue topaz, turquoise, and tanzanite. All three appear in blue to blue-violet color ranges, though turquoise can shift toward green.
Blue topaz rates 8 on the Mohs scale and handles daily wear well. Turquoise rates 5 to 6 and requires more careful handling, though its opaque color and natural matrix patterns offer a different aesthetic.
The American Gem Trade Association added tanzanite as a December birthstone in 2002. It was included to provide a transparent blue-violet option alongside traditional turquoise and blue topaz.
