Birthstone Women of the Year: December/ Turquoise, ( tanzanite, zircon and blue topaz).
I just found that December has 4 Birthstones. I am not sure why since Turquoise has been
the known one for much longer.
Being Native American, I felt it only right to try to create an AI image that would
hopefully appear somewhat Native.
I am pleased with the results.
The following information was gleaned from:
www.almanac.com/december-birth…

• The gem has long been thought to possess the powers to ensure good health and good fortune. Others believed it could promote happiness, peace, positive energy, protection, and spirituality.
• Hindu mystics believed that seeing a turquoise after observing a new Moon would bring about wealth.
• Dating back to the 13th century, turquoise was thought to protect those who wore it from falling. It has often been used on horse bridles.
• There was once a belief that the gem would break into multiple pieces when disaster was imminent.
• Turquoise has held significant meaning for Native American tribes. The Apache believed that the gem could be found by following a rainbow to its end, while it could also be used to improve accuracy when attached to a bow or firearm. The Pueblo thought that turquoise received its color from the sky.
• Ancient Egyptians called the gem mefkat, meaning joy and delight.
• According to European tradition, a turquoise ring given as a gift meant “forget me not.”
• I hope you have enjoyed this series of images and information. I enjoyed creating them through Imagine AI.
