This beautiful turquoise is from the Number 8 mine in Nevada, where it produced some of the largest nuggets of turquoise ever discovered, before it closed in 1976 (it is currently a gold mine). This stone was sourced from an independent lapidarist who I know personally.
Turquoise is a regal stone that facilitates communication and promotes creativity, bringing inspiration to begin new projects. It is known to open the third eye, making it a facilitator of spiritual growth. It can balance and align the chakras and, as a stone of tranquility, can bring emotional healing from states like anxiety and depression.
Turquoise is a sacred stone to Native Americans. Navajo legend is that when it finally rains after a long drought, turquoise is formed from the human tears of joy soaked into the Earth. So this stone will connect you to the earth as well as to the spirit world. It attracts prosperity, success and good fortune.
It is one of the birthstones of December.
