Turquoise

Turquoise was generally found in the more arid locations around Toril.
==Description==
This ornamental stone was an opaque blue to greenish-blue, and usually occurred with blotches of darker hues in the mix. A typical stone had a base value of 10 gp, except during the Spellplague era when the value jumped to 100 gp.
Turquoise stones were considered sacred by followers of Aerdrie Faenya and Erevan Ilesere—appropriate for sacrifice, or to be consecrated for use, or recognized as boons or omens when found.
==Powers==
Elves valued the pure color stones (without the darker mottling) for casting sky-related magic and mages used turquoise in the creation of items related to flight. It was also used as a good luck charm by horsemen who would put a small shard of turquoise in their horse's harness to ward off misstep or trail hazards. Turquoise had a slight gleam when it came near gold and was therefore associated with prosperity. ForedawnAccording to Elminster, this was the interval from 4:45 am to 5:15 am. was the best time of day to apply an immersion containing turquoise.
