Turquoise is a beloved but rare gemstone with a vibrant blue-green color. In jewelry design, Turquoise coordinates with silver and gold metals. Turquoise looks stunning with other Azurite, Smoky Quartz, or Tourmaline.

Since Turquoise is so rare, Dyed Turquoise Howlite has become common among gemstone enthusiasts and jewelry designers. Real Turquoise will often be labeled as “genuine” or “natural.” This stone has been highly valued for thousands of years, originally popular among Ancient Egyptian pharaohs as a symbol of luck. Turquoise is also popular among Native Americans, particularly the Navajo tribe in the Southwestern United States. Today, Turquoise can be found in Mexico, China, Iran, and the U.S. state of Arizona. 

Metaphysically, Turquoise is used to balance emotions and create a sense of inner peace. This stone is also said to hold healing properties that encourage tranquility and mindfulness during meditation practices.
