From the pure pastel blue of an Alpine glacier...to the glow of the mid-summer sky...to the aquatic hue of the deepest ocean, the clear, voluptuous color of Blue Topaz certainly speaks for itself. Blue Topaz rivals Aquamarine in color and charm. Found in greater abundance, it offers superb clarity and luminous color at a fraction of the cost. The ancients prized Topaz as a stone of divine majesty. It was believed to dispel enchantments, detect poisons- even render the wearer invisible at will. Traditionally known as Decembers birthstone, Blue Topaz is also known to celebrate the 4th wedding anniversary. A modern twist on the December birthstone is a stone with a deep vivid blue, with a purplish tinge, that dances about the stone as it moves in the light. With dazzling intensity and a complex play of color, Tanzanite boasts a uniquely sensuous appeal. Found by Massai herdsmen in the northern hills of Tanzania, Massai belief holds that the color blue of Tanzanite is both sacred and spiritual. Massai men give this gem to the new mothers when the baby is born. Doing so bestows health and well-being upon the child, ensuring a prosperous life. This tradition makes Tanzanite a true birth gemstone, a gift given to a new mother to celebrate new life. Along with celebrating new life, Tanzanite is also know to celebrate the 24th wedding anniversary.
