Turquoise
Turquoise was brought to Europe from Turkey (mines are located in Persian Khorasan Province). The French named it Pierre turquoise (Turkish stone).
On the American continent Indians used it to summon rain during drought. Turquoise was a symbol of wisdom, nobility and immortality for them. It was used for treating eyes, jaundice and healing of wounds.
It used to be believed that Turquoise is of more vivid shiny colour if the owner treats it nicely. With a change in colour, it warned of the impending danger.
Today Turquoise symbolizes generosity, sincerity and affection. It is a talisman of happiness, success and creativity and serves as an amulet of protection. Because it is sensitive to fats and alcohol it is recommended that it should not come in contact with cream or perfume.
