December -Turquoise-Sagittarius

About Turquoise. While only ranking between 5.0 and 6.0 on the Mohs Scale of hardness, turquoise remains quite popular for jewellery. In Europe, turquoise rings are given as forget-me-not gifts, while in the United States, the stone is given as traditional 5th and 11th wedding anniversary gifts.

Avoid exposing turquoise jewellery to hot water, household chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
