Peruvian Turquoise is an important ornamental mineral for jewellery and adorned the ceremonial dress of early native Incas. It also brings good fortune and attracts healing spirits. Delicate veining, caused by impurities, is desired by some collectors as proof of a natural stone.

The North American Indians, who are still producing quite a few pieces of traditional silver jewellery set with Turquoises today, believed that the gemstone the colour of the sky would establish a direct connection between the sky and the lakes. At all times in history Turquoise was worn as protection to ward off the influence of dark and evil powers. ☸☯🕉
