Turquoise
Turquoise is an opaque, blue-green mineral, which is a hydrated phosphate of aluminum and copper, with the chemical formula CuAl6 (PO4) 4 (OH) 8 • 4H2O.

It is rare and is considered a decorative and precious stone for thousands of years due to its unique shade. The mineral had many different names throughout history.

The current name dates from the 16th century and comes from the old French word turquoise, which means Turkish, because European merchants of the Middle Ages bought turquoise in Turkish bazaars, where it had arrived from Persia.Pliny the Elder refers to it as callais, meaning good stone, and in ancient Greece it was known as kallaitis or kallai stone.

It is said that turquoise can absorb any negative energy directed at its owner. It is generally believed that this stone gives the bearer courage, luck, health and protection.
