The name Turquoise is derived from the French, pierre turquoise, meaning “Turkish stone,” because the trade routes that brought Turquoise to Europe from the mines in central Asia went through Turkey, and Venetian merchants often purchased the stone in Turkish bazaars. 

Turquoise Stones have been in use for thousands of years and are some of the oldest stones to be made into jewellery. Turquoise is said to aid psychic abilities and benefits the throat chakra, by aiding communication and public speaking. It is also known to protect wearers when travelling. 

Birthstone: Turquoise is the traditional birthstone for December.
