Turquoise may be the oldest used gemstone, dating back as far as 5,000 b.c. The word “turquoise” was apparently first used in the thirteenth century and is thought to have been derived from the French word for “Turkish” (“turquois”), probably because the gemstone first reached Euroe by way of Turkey. Turquoise assists one in finding wholeness and truth, and promotes communication. It helps bring about serenity and peace, heals emotions, and relieves stress.  Turquoise strengthens and elevates all levels of energy, increasing understanding of emotional issues, creativity, and intuition, while being guided by love. It is a healer of the spirit, a source of strength, a guide through the unknown, and a protector from danger.
