December Turquoise

Coined as the world's most ancient gem, turquoise remains a pivotal stone that has made its mark in history. Having been buried in ancient Egyptian tombs centuries ago, it is said that they called turquosie "mefkat," which means "joy" and "delight." This gemstone is prized for its incredible hue, which ranges from blue to green and often has veins of matrix (rock remnants) running through it. Turquoise is considered a national treasure in Tibet, where it is believed to grant health, good fortune, and protection from evil.
