Popular Colored Stones
The term "colored stone" refers to any species of gem, other than diamond. An exception to this is colored diamonds - they are indeed considered to be colored stones. When it comes to colorful gemstones, there are so many options available that it can be difficult to choose. Undeniably beautiful and distinct, there are so many things about a gem that can catch your attention. It could be the color or the meaning it represents. No matter the reason, they are all amazing in their own way.
MOONSTONE: June Birthstone
Moonstone is a birthstone of the month June and is also the Florida State Gemstone. It was designated as such in 1970 to commemorate the Moon landings, which took off from Kennedy Space Center. Despite it being the Florida State Gemstone, it does not naturally occur in the state. Being that our jewelry store, Devon's Diamonds & Decor, is located in Boca Raton, Florida, we found this bit of information to be interesting.
AMETHYST: February Birthstone
If you were born in February, your birthstone is amethyst. Amethyst is also the gem traditionally given for the sixth and seventeenth wedding anniversaries. The essence of the color purple, amethyst is beautiful enough for crown jewels yet affordable enough for class rings.
GARNET: January Birthstone
Garnet is the birthstone for the month of January and is a traditional gem given on the second anniversary. Garnet has been admired by people for centuries. This fascinating stone is believed to have originated from two different words – ‘gernet’, which means ‘dark red’ in Middle English and from the Latin word ‘Granatus’, meaning ‘seed-like’ in reference to pomegranate seeds.
TANZANITE: December Birthstone
Tanzanite is a birthstone for December, along with zircon and turquoise. It is also the gem for a 24th anniversary. Tanzanite is the violet blue to blue violet variety of the mineral zoisite. It is mined commercially only in one area of the world: the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, which is where it gets its name. The fact that it only has this one source makes tanzanite rarer than a diamond.
