Favorite stone: Turquoise
Turquoise is a hydrous copper aluminum sulfate found in every color of blue, greenish blue or deep green. It has been prized by every culture, including Egypt, Persia, Tibet, and the Aztecs and Incas of South America. In the East and Far East, it was honored as a lucky stone and was given the nickname, ‘Turks’ stone. For the Indians of Mexico and Southwestern U.S., it was used to guard burial sites. Indian priests wore Turquoise in ceremonies when calling upon the great spirit of the sky. Turquoise manifests spiritual qualities, healing, friendship and love. It helps with communication and the 5th chakra, grounding.

Thanks for your post! Turquoise is a beautiful stone. I love stones of all kinds, including rough ones that are not polished into gem quality. I have an interesting rough ruby with a blotch on it that looks like an Egyptian goddess. I'll have to blog about that one!
