/ Blue Topaz: December's Electric Birthstone /

 

The birthstone for December is the electric blue topaz, a gem that has been revered throughout the ages.

Hindus believed topaz to be a sacred stone that brought wisdom and longevity to the wearer, while African shamans also believed it to be sacred, using it in healing rituals.
