Healing • Repels Negativity • Protection • Communication

Magical Queen, YOUR birthstone — the stunning Turquoise — is a gem rich with history, loved throughout time and is well known as a healing stone to aid in fast recovery, whether it’s physical or emotional. It is thought to dispel all the negativity that aggravates your condition and to protect you from harmful energy.

The earliest evidence of Turquoise gems come from Ancient Egyptian tombs filled with Turquoise jewellery dating all the way back to 3000 BC!!!

The oldest Turquoise mines are situated in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, with one being incredibly near to an Ancient Temple dedicated to Hathor (the Greek Goddess of love and joy). Therefore it should come as no surprise Ancient Egyptians referred to your birthstone as ‘mefkat’ … meaning joy and delight.

Ancient Persians also adored this gorgeous gem and often engraved it with Arabic script. Turquoise covered Persian palace domes and is believed to have inspired the use of Turquoise in the Taj Mahal too.

Turquoise was also said to provide protection, and Ancient Persians referred to this stone as ‘pirouzeh’, meaning victory. However, the name we use today comes from the 1200s when Turkish traders introduced this blue-ish green stone to Europe, and became known as ‘pierre tourques’, meaning the Turkish stone.

This powerful stone is strongly attached to the Throat Chakra, and is said to physically increase the life force in the body and support blood oxygenation, emotionally to encourage self-forgiveness and the release of useless regrets, and spiritually to inspire you to act out of truth, compassion and forgiveness.
