Turquoise Monarch

At long last, the final birthstones!

December's birthstones are turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon, and I found out I know next to nothing about the latter two!  I assumed zircon meant just cubic zirconia, but as it turns out, zircon actually comes in a lot of colours, including this lovely garnet burgundy.  Same for tanzanite - I knew it was blue.  Did not realize it could come in awesome gradients.

With this series done, I rest at last.... briefly, until I start my next design project, which is already falling into place. >w>
