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”.
