It was one of the first gemstones to ever be mined and dates back to 6000 BC in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt. Turquoise is known for its beautiful blue hues reminiscent of the ocean and some believe it has the ability to cleanse negative energy, bring good fortune, and enable truthful communication. Historically coveted for its physical healing properties, especially helping with respiratory issues, strengthening the immune system, and soothing inflammatory conditions. It is also known as a protection stone and is said it can aid in clear communication, promoting self-awareness, protect against misunderstandings and negative energy, and foster a sense of peace and serenity.
