About turquoise...one of the first gems ever used for jewelry.
Turquoise was found with a 7500-year old Egyptian mummy. Beads of
turquoise from ancient Mesopotamia date back to 5000 B.C.
Native Americans began mining it 1000 years ago in the
southwestern U.S. Turquoise’s lovely blue color is due to the presence
of copper, and iron makes the green tones. Worn for mental relaxation,
and promotes friendship.
Birthstone for December…and “stone of the sky”.
