Turquoise was and always is one of the most popular protective stones. Carried as an amulet or talisman, it is said to protect against danger and misfortune. Today, it is still often used as a protective stone for travel or in dangerous sports.

Turquoise also represents communication; it is a stone that strengthens expressiveness, increases self-confidence, and also positively influences creativity. According to healing stone literature, turquoise is also considered "the classic stone for health," which is why turquoise jewelry is often given to babies and children, as well as to weak and sick people, for strengthening and healing.
