Turquoise is a truly incredible gemstone, beloved by ancient cultures around the world for its striking and unique color. Turquoise has had many names throughout history, including “callais” to the ancient Greeks, and “chalchihuitl” to the Aztecs. We know it as turquoise these days, from the French word “turquois”, meaning Turkish- because the stone first arrived in Europe after traveling through Turkey.

Turquoise is believed to be a protective stone, as well as a symbol for the oceans of the world. People still use this stone today to promote tranquility and healing.
