Why are December birthday gems/stones always changing ? I was born in December and remember that the birthday stone once was black onyx (how depressing), then changed to turquoise (still not a beautiful stone/gem compared to other birthstones), then changed to zircon (very light blue ... and a bit better), and finally changed to blue topaz (a whole lot better). I think December's birthday stone should either be a ruby or an emerald due to the Christmas holidays ! No other birthstone has colors so significant to the month of December !!! Hmm, perhaps pearl should be for June (white - for the June bride).
