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

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

Turquoise is the stone of communication and eloquence. It helps you express yourself and promotes listening to others. A good stone for shy people, it strengthens self-confidence and soothes anxiety. It brings cheerfulness and joy of life.

Turquoise promotes energy flow, diluting the pollution of yin and yang energies.

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

Turquoise is a protective stone; it wards off negative energies and vibrations around us.

Cleansing:

Turquoise can be purified by quickly rinsing it under water. No salt water. Wipe it thoroughly after rinsing. As turquoise is a fragile stone, we recommend fumigation with a palo santo stick or white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry through the smoke. Remember to ventilate the room well after fumigation.

Recharging:

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