Well-being

Turquoise first appeared in Ancient Egypt, in the Sinai mines. Turquoise was considered a sacred stone by the Egyptians. Kings and queens loved adorning themselves with turquoise jewelry. Turquoise can be found on the famous funerary mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which also featured lapis lazuli and carnelian.

The Aztecs wore turquoise amulets believed to bring good luck. They also used it in their sacred rituals.

In many traditions, turquoise was used as a talisman to protect against the evil eye. It was also used to protect travelers on their journeys.

Turquoise is the stone of communication and eloquence. It helps you express yourself and encourages listening to others. A great stone for shy people, it boosts self-confidence and soothes anxiety. It brings cheerfulness and joie de vivre.

Turquoise promotes the flow of energies and disperses pollution in yin and yang energies.

Paired with Howlite or White Jade, it increases inner calm and serenity.

Turquoise is a protective stone; it keeps away bad energies around us and negative vibrations.

Cleansing:

Turquoise can be cleansed by quickly running it under water. No salt water. Dry it well after rinsing. As turquoise is a fragile stone, we recommend smudging instead, with a palo santo stick or white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry above the smoke. Don’t forget to air out the room well after smudging.

Recharging:

Turquoise can be recharged in moonlight or in a quartz geode, on a quartz cluster or an amethyst druse. Avoid the sun, which could alter the stone’s color.
