Turquoise, with its cheerful blue hue, is the oldest known gemstone in the world, and was set in jewellery as far back as 7000 years ago. It was prized by the Incas and the Aztecs, who believed it brought power and good fortune. The Ancient Egyptians used it to adorn burial masks and tombs, as they believed blue was the colour of regeneration. Desert dwellers trusted it to bring rain, Native Americans used it as a protective amulet, and Tibetans to this day use it for its healing powers.

Turquoise brings protection, peace, and balance and is helpful with careers and travel.
