A Stone of Communication and Harmony
Turquoise is a natural gemstone cherished for thousands of years for its magnificent shades of blue and green. Its distinctive color evokes the sky, water, and vast natural landscapes.
In lithotherapy, it is traditionally associated with communication, serenity, and harmony. Its symbolism evokes authentic expression, emotional balance, and harmonious relationships.
Natural Turquoise vs. Stabilized Turquoise
Natural turquoise is a stone that retains its original characteristics without any treatment intended to modify its color or hardness.
Stabilized turquoise has been treated to enhance its durability and preserve its color. This practice is very common in jewelry making, as turquoise is naturally a relatively porous stone.
Both can be used in jewelry creation. Stabilization does not alter the overall appearance of the stone but often improves its daily resistance.
A Stone Appreciated for Millennia
Turquoise is among the oldest ornamental stones used by humans. It was already prized in ancient Egypt, Persia, and several indigenous cultures of North America.
Its unique color and rarity have made it a sought-after stone for creating jewelry, ornaments, and symbolic objects throughout the centuries.
