Turquoise is the birthstone of December. It is believed that turquoise tends to bring good fortune, strength and helps overcome illness. Turquoise got its name from the Levantine traders called Turks who brought the stone to Europe from Persia via Turkey centuries ago. Native Americans have prized turquoise since the time of the Aztecs, who mined it in New Mexico. The natural variations that occur in turquoise are part of its appeal and beauty.

Amethyst is the birthstone of February, it is a very spiritual crystal, it increases psychic ability and opens you to higher knowledge. It is also known to be calming, sobering, and helps to eliminate bad habits and acquire good ones.
