December's Birthstone: Turquoise

"If you are shopping for turquoise jewelry, be sure to ask if the turquoise you are looking at is natural."

Turquoise is a timeless classic.  For thousands of years, cultures in China, the Middle East, Central America, Egypt and America have used turquoise to create beautiful floors, jewelry box inlays, amulets and other valuables.  Here in the United States, turquoise is still extremely popular and is often paired with silver or copper for a traditional, earthy look.

Healing Crystals

"When you hold a gemstone in your hand, especially a raw gemstone, it seems to possess a power of its own"

Gemstones have long been believed to have healing properties and have been used for thousands of years in rituals, healing and trade.  No one can deny their beauty, and everyone from small children to adults can find fascination in the unique tones, colors and shapes of gemstones.
