About: Hi, I’m Leo thanks for stopping by my corner of the Psychic Source Blog. When I’m not up late at night reading for Psychic Source I enjoy a happy and busy life! I love to mine and dig for stones and crystals in my spare time and have been on quite a number of mining experiences. Crystals are important forms of energy that have metaphysical power to assist in so many issues. My other favorite pastime is ghost hunting with a Regional chapter of paranormal investigation group where I have been afforded the opportunity to combine my psychic gifts with the tools of the trade as we explored paranormal phenomenon and reported hauntings. Home is full of love and peace; my happiest times are relaxing with my family and my crew of 2 Great Danes, a Chihuahua, a beloved mutt, a very friendly Blue and Gold Macaw and two Thoroughbred horses.See Authors Posts (10)

The birthstone for December is: Turquoise.

Turquoise dates into our history over 6,000 years. References of this stone made by archeologist have it dating back to the first dynasty of Egypt.

In American history, Turquoise was used for headaches, fever,  eye pain, poor sight and insect bites, just to name a few. In the case of stomache aches it was ground and mixed with water as a drink. Also is believed to alieviate anxiety, nervousness and relieves stress.

Turquoise is a sacred stone in both Oriental and Native American traditions and cultures. It is associated with the sky and is said to bring sky energy to earth. It can help speed the healing process and is known to be a Master Healer stone. This stone is also good for protection and grounding as well. Many people in these cultures wear turquoise daily for protection from harm and evil spirits. It is often strung as beads and worn on a necklace, combined wit other stones to enhance it’s properties as well as the other stones. Sometimes it is even carved into animals.

Turquoise is the planetary stone for Aquarius, Taurus and Sagittarius. Colors vary from Blue to Green and many shades in between. Wax is often infused to make the stone stronger and help it to hold together. Raw it is often chalky and full of cracks and pits.

If your birthday falls in December your birthstone is one of my favorites. Have a great birthday and a happy end to 2009.
