Turquoise

Adored for centuries, Turquoise has been carved and set into everything from royal thrones and daggers to jewellery and cups. The Egyptians believed Turquoise brought good fortune and made them invincible. They carved the stone into symbolic jewellery and statues. Use of Turquoise dates as far back as 5500 B.C. It was believed to prevent accidents and cure diseases of the head and the heart. One legend suggests that throwing a piece of Turquoise into a river would bring rain. Turquoise was a sacred stone to many Native Americans. Medicine men used Turquoise in their healing practices. Often carved into the shape of animals, Turquoise was placed in tombs, believed to guard the dead and invite protective spirits. 

 

Today Turquoise is found in Africa, Belgium, China, France, Iran, Mexico, the United States, and many other places.

Turquoise has a connection to the throat chakra and the energy of water. Some of the most powerful intentions to use with a Turquoise crystal stem from its calming and healing energy. The blue hues of this stone specifically harness the energy of water, the life-giving element that represents vitality, rejuvenation, renewal and a general feeling of well being. The water-like qualities of this stone generates a state of calm and tranquility, which can aid in stress-relief and the elimination of negative energies.
