What does turquoise mean?
Many people know that turquoise is the birthstone for December. There are four types of birthstones for December: tanzanite, lapis lazuli, and zircon. Many of these stones are primarily blue. Giving turquoise to someone whose birthday is in December also means wishing them good luck in life.
Turquoise is known as the "sacred stone that contributes to increasing all kinds of luck." Specifically, it has the following three meanings.
1. The stone where the gods reside
2. Stone of courage and hope
3. Stones that connect people
Here we will explain the meanings of each of the turquoise stones.
(1) Stones that are home to gods
Turquoise is a stone that has been mined by humans since ancient times as an object of faith and is said to be a "stone inhabited by gods." In particular, in ancient Persia (present-day Iran), it was used as a talisman to protect against evil. Even today, it is popular as a power stone that protects against evil.
The main reason why turquoise is considered sacred around the world is because of its color, which symbolizes water that hydrates the dry earth. The blue-green color, reminiscent of a refreshing, clear water surface, will calm frustration and emotional waves, making the viewer feel calm.
(2) Stone of Courage and Hope
Turquoise has meanings such as courage, positivity, and hope, and is also known as the "stone of courage and hope" that gives its owner a fighting spirit. This is because turquoise has a strong power in terms of healing. The vivid blue-green stone controls the ups and downs of emotions and calms the mind.
Because of this characteristic, it is said that it is good to wear this skill when you are confused or uncertain and unable to make a new decision. Even in situations where you need to take on a new challenge, you can move forward without difficulty by keeping your mind light.
(3) Stones that connect people
Turquoise is also known as the "stone that connects people" because of its ability to smooth human relationships and strengthen bonds between people.
Turquoise is said to exert even more mysterious power and protect the owner when given as a gift, making it one of the power stones suitable for gifts. By giving it as a gift, you can expect a synergistic effect of deepening human relationships while giving the power of the stone to both parties. It is also recommended as a gift for friendships and romantic relationships.
What is turquoise blue? Enjoy the different colors depending on the stone
Although it is generally called turquoise, the color actually varies from one stone to another. For example, turquoise generally refers to a light blue-green stone, but stones with a particularly strong blue hue are called "turquoise blue."
The difference in color is due to the copper and iron contained in the gemstone. Depending on the subtle difference in content, the color can change from turquoise to light blue, greenish, or net-like black.
By the way, turquoise blue is said to have a strong positive influence, and it is said to improve creativity, expressiveness, and communication.

The difference between turquoise and turquoise. Is it true that it is not mined in Turkey?
The Japanese name for turquoise is "Turquoise". They are just different names, but both refer to the same stone. The name turquoise is derived from the French word "turkeys", which means Turkish stone.
The reason it came to be called turquoise is because after it was mined, it was brought to Europe via Turkey. In fact, turquoise was not a stone that was mined in Turkey, but was brought over as a trade item or talisman.
Currently, turquoise is not mined in Turkey, and the main production areas are Iran, America, Egypt, Chile, etc. If you travel to these countries, we recommend buying some turquoise as a souvenir to bring back home.
