About Turquoise:

Turquoise is an opaque stone that varies from blue to green in color. It has a Mohs scale ranking of 5 to 6, meaning it has a fair to good hardness rating.

The word turquoise comes from a French word meaning "Turkish" because Turkish people who introduced turquoise to Europe believed that this blue stone protected them from evil spirits and misfortune.

Turquoise can be found in Afghanistan, the Arabian Peninsula, China, Egypt, France, Iran, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, Tibet and the United States.

It is believed that turquoise has a strong connection to the throat chakra and helps improve communication and expression, as well as protecting the person from negative energy. It also aligns all the chakras and is often used for healing purposes. Turquoise can also help you become more open to love and forgiveness and dissolve patterns of self-sabotage. It is very balancing for the emotions and helps you feel calmer and more at ease.

There are no negative effects from turquoise stones.
