Turquoise
Description: Turquoise is an iconic gemstone prized for its distinct color, which ranges from powdery blue to greenish-blue, with veins of matrix that add character and contrast. This ancient stone has been valued by civilizations for thousands of years, used in jewelry, ceremonial items, and as a symbol of wealth and status. The presence of copper gives turquoise its signature blue color, while traces of iron add a greenish hue. Turquoise is relatively soft, making it suitable for various types of jewelry, often set in silver to complement its striking colors.
Fun Fact: Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets, and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures. If given a turquoise by a loving friend, that stone would protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The stone is also unique in that it is the only gemstone to have a color named after it, highlighting its significance and popularity through the ages.
