TURQUOISE:
is a valuable mineral and is possibly
the most valuable, non-transparent
mineral in the jewelry trade.
It has been mined since at least 6000 BC.
by early Egyptians.
Worn by Pharaohs and Aztec Kings,
it's probably one of the oldest gemstones known.
The name turquoise may have come from the word Turquie,
French for Turkey, because of the early belief that
the mineral came from that country.
Another possibility could be that the name came from
the French description of the gemstone, "pierre turquin"
meaning dark blue stone.
Turquoise attracts money, success and love.
Its powers include protection, healing,
courage, friendship, and luck.
It also Relaxes the mind, and eases mental tension.
