TURQUOISE

Turquoise has been esteemed for thousands of years as a holy stone and bringer of good fortune. It is often given as a gift, as a stone of friendship, since the stone is said to be responsible for faithful and constant relationships. The blue of the stone comes from copper, the green from iron.

The very best quality stones are pure, sky blue, and turquoise stones should be protected from cosmetics, heat and bright light. Your turquoise jewelry is best left at home when you go sunbathing, and the stones can be cleaned from time to time with a soft cloth. Today, turquoise is regarded as the protective stone for pilots, flight crews and other professionals who are exposed to high risk.
