Turquoise is an exceptionally rare phosphate mineral with a beautiful opaque blue-green colour.

The name Turquoise comes from the word "turques," meaning "Turkish," as the mineral first reached Europe via Turkey.

Turquoise was among the first gemstones to be widely mined. What captivated our ancestors above all was its incomparable colour.

Turquoise can often be seen adorning the crowns and jewellery of famous rulers. As a decorative mineral it was known in ancient Egypt, among the Aztecs, in Persia and across other great dynasties. One of the most celebrated uses of Turquoise is in the funerary mask of the pharaoh Tutankhamun.

In earlier times, people believed that Turquoise would change colour in step with the changing health of the person who wore it. It was also believed to protect against the ill intentions of other people or forces.

One thing shared by all the civilisations that used Turquoise regularly is that they all believed it brought good fortune. It was a "sacred stone" to every one of them.
