Turquoise

 

Hi

As its December and the December birth stone is turquoise, I thought I would share with you a few myths and beliefs about the "powers" that are attributed to this gorgeous gemstone. I am not someone who really believes this type of thing, but its Christmas, a time of magic and spiritual contemplation, so here you go.

Turquoise is believed to help someone start new projects

It is also believed to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing colour

Turquoise was once thought to protect the wearer from falling, especially from horses.

Turquoise is more recently thought to be a good luck stone for aviators and flight staff.

Thought to bring happiness and good fortune.

It was believed that wearing turquoise on the little finger and looking at the stone after seeing the new moon would bring great wealth.

A token of friendship

And if this isnt enough to have you running to buy some turquoise, maybe these beautiful pieces might be! http://www.purple-label.com/search/web/stone/Turquoise
