As with Amber, you will often find it carved into the shapes of animals. It is very protective, but one of its most fascinating uses is as a health barometer . Turquoise draws toxins from the body and will fade or darken if you have disease or illness in your system. Its healing powers are so strong that the Shoshone Indians combine Turquoise and Jade and hold them under running water to send prayers to heal the sick. Hindu mystics believe that Turquoise will bring wealth if you look on it after the first day of a new moon.
Turquoise brings friendship, allegiance, healing, protection and self-definition.
So, you are on your path to healing with crystals. Their simple beauty has always attracted us to them from the incredible diamond to the simple, wonderful feel of a smooth creek stone. My nieces and nephews love to come to Aunt Darlene's to play with the rocks , and I love for them to touch them and add their innocent energies that remain in the stones. From the first moment I ever held a crystal and felt its vibration, I was hooked. I believe that each individual stone holds its own particular spirit.
