African Turquoise is a vibrant blue-green gemstone with black or dark brown matrix inclusions. It pairs well with silver metals, while dark bronze and gunmetal provide a striking contrast. Amazonite is a favorite companion stone, and darker gemstones like Onyx, Smoky Quartz, and Black Obsidian echo its natural inclusions for a cohesive design.

Though not a true turquoise, African Turquoise is a speckled jasper found throughout several African nations and valued for its rich look.

Metaphysically, African Turquoise is associated with growth and transformation. It is believed to encourage the release of negative habits while supporting goal-setting, ambition, and confidence, inspiring intentional personal evolution.
