Turquoise is a stone that has been associated with the gods and goddesses in cultures from ancient Egypt, China and the Americans.   It was one of the most prized stones in ancient Egypt - it's name actually   means "delight".  Hathor (who was the goddess of love, marriage, dance, joy, music and women) was called the lady of Turquoise.  In this culture it was also linked to the sun gods and considered a stone of re-birth.  The hair of the Sun God Ra was said to have been made of Turquoise. 

In early America's it was a male stone of power.  Only warriors could wear it.  In some parts of the world it was only used as an adornment for the statues of male deities.  It was looked upon as a sky stone, a sacred manifestation of the source of creation.

Turquoise will attract prosperity and success - take a piece with you to work or wear it while you are doing your finances.  It also absorbs negative forces and endows wisdom on those who wear it.  Turquoise also increases prophetic powers.  It is said to give access to the collective wisdom of all humankind.  Turquoise also energizes and balances mood swings and is a purification stone that clears electromagnetic smog and protection against pollutants in the environment.  It balances and aligns all the Chakras.  Turquoise unites the earth and the sky, which brings the male and the female energies together as well.  It is empathic and a promoter of self realization and assists creative problem solving.  Turquoise also helps with exhaustion, depression and panic attacks.
