Turquoise, a sacred sky-blue to green mineral composed of copper and aluminum, has been revered for centuries as a stone of protection, wisdom, and healing. Beloved by ancient civilizations, it was carried by warriors, shamans, and travelers as a talisman of strength and good fortune. Turquoise is said to balance emotions, enhance communication, and deepen our connection to both the Earth and the cosmos. Like a clear blue sky after a storm, it brings a sense of peace, reminding us to speak our truth and walk our path with confidence. Turquoise says, “Let your words flow like the wind, your heart shine like the sun, and your spirit soar like the sky.”
