Turquoise Stone
Blue to green stone, often veined with dark streaks, the turquoise mainly comes from Iran, Tibet, the United States, and Mexico. Recognized for its ability to protect, balance, and soothe, it is valued for its gentle yet powerful energy.

Origins
Utilisée depuis plus de 7000 ans, la turquoise était prisée des civilisations égyptienne, perse, aztèque et amérindienne, qui lui attribuaient des pouvoirs de protection et de connexion spirituelle.
Elle provient principalement d’Iran (pour sa couleur bleue intense), du Tibet (teintes plus vertes), des États-Unis (Arizona, Nevada) et du Mexique.
À l’état brut, la turquoise est une pierre poreuse et fragile, souvent marbrée de veines naturelles. Avant d’être montée en bijou, elle est généralement stabilisée puis polie pour révéler sa teinte éclatante et renforcer sa durabilité, tout en conservant son énergie protectrice.
