Turquoise Nugget Bracelet

Mineralogically, turquoise is a hydrated copper aluminium phosphate (CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O) with a Mohs hardness of 5–6 and a triclinic crystal system. It owes its characteristic blue color to its copper content; the dark veins are limonite or pyrite inclusions. The name is derived from the French "pierres turquoises" ("Turkish stones") – it was originally brought to Europe via Turkey. Turquoise is one of humanity’s oldest gemstones: Tutankhamun's death mask is decorated with turquoise, and the finest specimens historically come from Iran (Persia). The nugget stones (approx. 7×10 mm) display turquoise in its organically grown form – each stone is absolutely unique in shape, color, and grain. Important: Turquoise is sensitive to heat, acids, cosmetics, and perfume – please avoid contact. Localities: USA (Arizona), Iran, Israel, China, Egypt.

Significance in crystal healing

Since antiquity, turquoise has been considered one of the most popular protective stones and a "classic stone for health." It is said to protect against danger (especially when traveling), strengthen communication and expressiveness, and boost self-confidence. It is said to be associated with the throat and heart chakras. These attributions are based on handed-down tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
