A well-known stone, turquoise has been valued by humans for thousands of years. Its name derives from the French word for Turkey (the country), whence some of the first stones arrived in Europe. Today, the making of turquoise jewelry remains an important economic and cultural activity for many indigenous peoples of the American Southwest.
Turquoise energy encourages its user to live a life of truth and integrity. It is believed to manifest strong clairvoyant abilities when used on the Throat chakra. It is said to bring balance and harmony to a person's feminine and masculine traits. Turquoise can be worn as jewelry, carried in a pocket, or placed in a room to dispense the benefits of its positive energy.
