Turquoise's roots stretch back to Ancient Egypt. It was named pierre tourques or Turkish stone for the traders who brought it to Europe. This December birthstone also marks the 6th wedding anniversary. It is thought to bestow hope, success, protection, and courage. We now carry Kingman turquoise, a prime example of classic turquoise with sand-colored veining.
The mystical Turquoise seems to blend the clear blue of the sky with the green of the ocean's depths. This potent magic may explain why cultures around the world have revered Turquoise as a holy stone. Turquoise is often given to those born in December, as a gem to celebrate their birth. It is also the gem that represents the 6th and 11th wedding anniversaries.
Contemporary fashions demand the brilliant blue that can only be found in Turquoise. Whatever its setting, Turquoise reminds us of the fragile relationship between humankind and nature.
