Despite the clouds this month, it’s blue skies for December babies. Or, to be more exact, blue stones… beautiful blue stones. Modern birthstones for those born in the month of December include blue topaz, tanzanite and turquoise. There is a shade of blue for every taste!

The color of topaz varies from clear, yellow, orange, red, blue and green. Imperial topaz, the orange to golden gem, is generally recognized as the traditional birthstone for November babies.
