Turquoise is considered to be among the master stones for crystal healing that can benefit the whole body. It is a powerful all-purpose healing stone that has been treasured throughout the world for thousands of years, from the Ancient Egyptians to the Tibetans, to the Aztecs and the Native Americans. Turquoise was reserved for the Gods – it was so revered in ancient Mexico that mere mortals were not permitted to wear it, and Persians believed turquoise was so powerful that wearing it could protect them from death. 
 
Turquoise has been used as a talisman to ward off darkness and negative energy, to protect from accidents and falls, and has even been effectively used by 15th-century physicians to counter the effects of poison. Today it is recognized as a purification stone and has been recommended for detoxification of alcohol, poison, pollution, or radiation in the body.
 
Turquoise can increase courage and personal power. For centuries, various cultures have believed that turquoise brings luck, promotes wealth and success, attracts love and brings happiness. Turquoise is excellent for depression and exhaustion, and may prevent panic attacks; it can stabilize mood swings and instills inner calm. It is said to draw healing spirits, and bring good fortune.
 
Warning: turquoise is a porous stone and should not be exposed to cosmetics, chemicals, heat, or direct sunlight. Any turquoise containing pyrite should not be exposed to water or salt.
