Turquoise is mainly found in countries such as Iran, Tibet, the US, China and Mexico. The colour ranges from sky blue to blue-green, often with brown or black veins. Every stone is unique, just like you.
The name ‘Turquoise’ comes from the French word "turquoise", which means "Turkish". Although the stone itself does not originally come from Turkey, it was brought to Europe via Turkey from mines in Iran (ancient Persia). European traders therefore called the stone “Turkish stone”, and that is how the name we still use today came about.
Throughout the centuries, turquoise has held special significance in various cultures. For example, the ancient Egyptians used it in jewellery and amulets, whilst Native American tribes regarded the stone as sacred, a bridge between heaven and earth, bringing protection and wisdom.
General operation
De Turkoois gezondheidshanger is een prachtige blauwgroene edelsteen die al eeuwenlang wordt gezien als een krachtige beschermsteen. Van oudsher werd Turkoois gedragen door reizigers, krijgers en sjamanen om ongeluk, ziektes en negatieve invloeden af te weren. Deze steen brengt niet alleen bescherming, maar ook geluk, voorspoed en evenwicht.
De Turkoois gezondheidshanger werkt dus beschermend en helpt je om negatieve energie van buitenaf op afstand te houden. Denk aan invloeden van mensen, maar ook aan elektromagnetische straling van mobiele telefoons, computers en andere apparaten. Het is daarom een fijne steen om bij je te dragen, vooral tijdens het reizen of in drukke, chaotische omgevingen.
The stone has a calming effect when you’re feeling overwhelmed, but gives you a boost when you’re feeling tired, drained or down. Turquoise senses what you need and gives you exactly that energy. It helps to balance your emotions and reduces stress.
Turquoise helps you to accept yourself as you are and enables you to let go of feelings of guilt, shame and regret. You will learn to recognise self-destructive behaviour and find it easier to let go of it.
Care
Do not clean turquoise with water or expose it to direct sunlight, as this may damage the stone. Read here For more information on cleaning and charging.
