Aside from their beauty, folklore says they offer us many other benefits. Here are a few of the myriad of gemstones we wear:

Turquoise: The opaque cousin to Lapis Lazuli, is one of the oldest gemstones known. Its color has been highly valued and worn by Egyptian Pharaohs and Aztec Kings. It was first sent to Europe through Turkey, hence its name, which means “Turkish” in French. Since about 200 B.C., both southwestern U.S. Native Americans and many Indian tribes in Mexico used Turquoise extensively.

Blue Turquoise represents balance between the clear sky and the ocean depths. In folklore, it is believed to promote happiness and long life. North American Indians believed Turquoise promotes clarity, enhances wisdom, peace, honesty, kindness, and spirituality. It is often given to brides on their wedding day for ‘Something Blue’. Turquoise is the December birthstone and the 6th and 11th anniversary gem.

Onyx: The velvety black of Onyx makes an unmistakable statement of power and sophistication. Carved in the image of Mars, the God of War, Onyx was reputed to give courage to Roman soldiers. Onyx can stand alone for a bold and richly self-assured look.

Onyx gemstone is the birthstone for the month of February, while it is the mystical stone for December and a lucky charm for people under the Leo and Gemini zodiac sign.
