Stone Wisdom: Turquoise gets its characteristic sky-blue color from a large amount of copper in the stone. The name comes from the French turquoise, meaning "Turkey." The best Turquoise is found mainly in Iran and Turkey.
** Old myths: Turquoise is used to gain wealth, to protect from environmental pollutants, and it changes color when the wearer is in danger.
** It is common to see saddles and bridles decorated in Turquoise. This stems from an old belief that the stone will protect horse and rider from injury. When both rider and horse wear Turquoise, the stone will absorb the injury during a fall.
** Turquoise is the official birthstone for December, and is the 11th anniversary stone. Lapis is one of the oldest gemstones known. Ancient Egyptians considered it a sacred and prized stone. Looking like the star-studded night sky, it was thought to possess the energy of the sky, limitless in its wisdom. The stone's name comes from the Latin lapis, which means "stone," and the Farsi (Persian) azul, which means "blue." ** Crystal healers use Lapis to reduce fever and sore throat. It is thought to help the wearer understand his or her emotional issues; not necessarily reducing them, but bringing them into a clear light so that the wearer has the opportunity to understand and deal with them.
** Lapis is a traditional birthstone for December, and can be used as an anniversary gift for the 7th and 9th year of marriage." Location: Hand-Crafted
