TURQUOISE — A Healing Stone

Turquoise balances and aligns all the chakras, stabilizing mood swings and instilling inner calm. It is believed to be a purification stone. Turquoise is a mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum. This is what gives Turquoise the blue, blue/green color. This crystal is held in high esteem by many Native American cultures. It is said to protect and detoxify the body from alcohol, poison, pollution and radiation. As an absorber of negative energy, it draws it away from oneself while allowing strength and calm to the body and mind.

These metaphysical aspects of turquoise were used for healing on every continent long before the advent of mass communication, how did they all know? The Native American Indians firmly believed that Turquoise aids in the absorption of nutrients, and contains anti-inflammatory and detoxifying elements. While generating good health to the body, it helps to ground the wandering spirit while keeping the connection to the infinite open.

It is no surprise that Turquoise is the stone of many Native American Indian tribes, and they honor it by wearing it in jewelry as rings, necklaces, pendants and some carry the stone by itself on their person.
