According to www.crystalvaults.com , Turquoise holds the remarkable distinction of being one of the oldest gemstones known to humanity, with a history that spans thousands of years across various ancient civilizations. Its tranquil hues—ranging from soothing greens to deep, serene blues—have long been treasured not only for their captivating beauty but also for the powerful symbolism they carry. Throughout history, turquoise has been regarded as a stone of protection and strength, believed to safeguard its wearer from harm and imbue them with courage and resilience.
Many ancient cultures valued turquoise highly, integrating it deeply into their traditions and daily lives. Warriors often wore turquoise amulets and talismans into battle, trusting in the stone’s protective powers to shield them from injury and misfortune.
