Historical and Cultural Use:
Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures. This stone has been prized as a holy stone, a bringer of good fortune, or a talisman by many cultures – Egyptians, Persians, and Native Americans. Historically, it was used in jewellery and as a powerful protective stone for warriors and royalty.
Geological Properties:
Turquoise is typically found in arid regions, forming as a secondary mineral in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. Its unique blue-to-green colour is due to the presence of copper and iron. It often contains veins of other materials running through it, which are remnants of the rock in which it formed, adding to its distinct appearance.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Turquoise is believed to be a purification stone. It dispels negative energy and can be worn to protect against outside influences or pollutants in the atmosphere. Turquoise balances and aligns all the chakras, stabilizing mood swings, and instilling inner calm. It is excellent for depression and exhaustion and also has the power to prevent panic attacks. Turquoise promotes self-realization and assists creative problem-solving. It is a symbol of friendship and stimulates romantic love.
Collectibility and Use:
Turquoise is highly regarded in the gemstone market for its colour and historical significance. It is commonly used in jewellery and artistic carvings. Each piece's unique veining and matrix patterns are cherished, making it a popular choice for both artisans and collectors. It is often set in silver and worn in bracelets, necklaces, and rings.
Care and Maintenance:
Turquoise is relatively soft compared to other gemstones, so it requires careful handling to avoid scratches and damage. It should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, and rinsed well to remove any soap residue. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface of the stone or alter its colour. Store turquoise separately or with softer gemstones to prevent scratching.
