Turquoise is a mineral that comes in colors ranging from a crisp blue to a yellowish green.  It has been the mineral of choice for inlays in small sculptures and jewelry from ancient times to now.  

The change from the blue color to a yellowish green, is caused by small amounts of iron instead of aluminum in the stone.

Some pieces of turquoise contain parts of its host rock. This can appear as a black or brown spider webbing throughout the stone.  

Turquoise is known to have been used for personal protection against negative forces, although it has other healing properties.

Turquoise can be sued as a good luck charm for health and abundance and has been used to help realign energy centers. 

Turquoise has always been a popular choice to pair with silver and other stones. Whether the stone has been shaped into a glossy cabochon, crushed and inlayed, or kept in its natural state turquoise has been and will always be a fan favorite.
