December	Blue Zircon or Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli	Blue Zircon or Erinite or Indicolite ^{Note: 2}
^{Note: 1}^{Unfortunately RU (ruby) is not produced in a wide selection of bead shapes and sizes. I would prefer ruby, except that there are too few choices of ruby in the Swarovski stock list.} ^{Note: 2}^{The natural birthstones for December are Turquoise and Zircon. Swarovski does not produce ZI in the round beads as a stock item. I suggest that you substitute ER (erinite) or IND (indicolite) for the ZI (zircon). ER is somewhat bluer and more pale (more like turquoise), while IND is quite close.}
