More Info

Turquoise crystals have a rich history that spans cultures such as the Egyptians, Persians, Aztecs, and Native Americans. These civilizations highly regarded turquoise for its beauty and metaphysical properties. Turquoise was often used to create intricate jewelry, decorative objects, and even incorporated into religious ceremonies.

People are drawn to turquoise because of its vibrant and unique blue-green colour, which evokes a sense of tranquillity and serenity. The stone's colour can vary from pale blue to deep green and often exhibits a captivating matrix pattern formed by the host rock that surrounds it. Throughout history, turquoise has been revered for its spiritual and healing properties and was believed to promote good fortune, protect against evil, and provide strength and clarity to the wearer.

The name "Turquoise" comes from the French word turquoise, meaning "Turkish stone," which is a reference to the fact that the stone was first introduced to Europe via Turkey.


Origin

Russia, China, Iran, and parts of the United States.


Physical Properties

Turquoise deposits are formed through a combination of specific geological conditions. The gemstone is typically found in arid regions where copper-rich groundwater interacts with aluminum and phosphorus minerals in rocks over millions of years. This process results in the creation of turquoise within veins or nodules.

The Mohs rating of turquoise ranges from 5 to 6, indicating moderate hardness. While turquoise can be relatively durable, it is still susceptible to scratching and damage from chemicals and extreme temperature changes. Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve its beauty and integrity.


Metaphysical Properties

Turquoise is believed to purify and protect by dispelling negative energy and creating a shield of positivity. It is thought to harmonize and align the body's energy centers, known as chakras, promoting balance and stabilizing mood swings.

Turquoise enhances communication and self-expression, enabling honest and effective sharing of thoughts and emotions. It promotes serenity and balance, reducing stress, anxiety, and mood imbalances. Wearing turquoise is believed to instill inner peace and tranquillity.

Turquoise supports spiritual growth and intuition, fostering a connection with one's higher self and deepening understanding of the spiritual journey. It has a soothing and healing effect on emotions, helping to release emotional baggage, encourage forgiveness, and promote self-acceptance and self-forgiveness.
