Last 15 days have been completely action packed for me. While I am still recovering from my Iran trip hangover, I am excited to write about my precious possession that I found in Iran. My Turquoise Crystal. I have been long awaiting for this one, but was not able to find a genuine one, finally I get my piece, it's a small one but I am happy I could find a genuine one. Along with the Turquoise I also managed to get some beautiful pieces of Fluorite, Lapis Lazuli, Rose Quartz and Malachite, I already have them and these are just new additions to my collection, but I absolutely adorn them, all of them are charming and gorgeous and I feel my trip was fruitful as I got my hands on my most precious possessions my Crystals 😍
Turquoise is a crystal that hold highest regard in the ancient times, It is perhaps one of the oldest stone. This one goes back to around 5000 to 6000 BC. with impressive metaphysical properties. Turquoise also known as the "Horseman stone" because it provides protection from falls. Turquoise is a cooper and iron based crystal and the color of the crystal depends on the content of both. You will find Turquoise color varying between green an blue. In the olden times it was also believed that if there was any danger approaching to the wearer of Turquoise the Crystal would change it's color from blue to green.....
Turquoise has been a popular crystal with the Egyptians. It seems Egyptians used crystals very widely since most of the crystals have a strong base with them. They believed that Turquoise crystal linked the earth and sky and made a powerful love charm....
On the metaphysical side Turquoise helps in releasing negative emotions and it also helps in settling disturbed vibrations. It helps you dive deep within and explore your deepest inner-self. Turquoise is more of a spiritual crystal, it helps one come to a state of wholeness, when I say this it does not mean it does some magic to you, but it brings alignment in your vibrations and clears of negative energies around you which enables you to move in the right direction of your life path. Turquoise is a powerful healing crystal with strong spiritual attunements that helps balance male/female energies and clairvoyant abilities.
Turquoise is a bluish green color crystal so associated with the Throat Chakra, hence very good to wear a Turquoise necklace as it brings a lot of calmness and stability in speech and expression. It is also used on the Third eye Chakra during meditation enhancing intuition.
Turquoise is majorly found in the region of Iran, Egypt, China, Mexico, Afghanistan, Peru, Russia.
People believe that Turquoise is easily available but in real it is not. Majority of what you see as Turquoise in market is a dyed Howlite crystal which gives an almost similar look of a Turquoise. A Turquoise is very expensive so if anyone is willing to sell you for a lesser price then it definitely is not a Turquoise. The most simplest way to recognize a genuine Turquoise is take some acetone on a cotton bud and rub it on the crystal, if it is a dyed Howlite immediately the color will start coming out. This test can be done for almost all the crystals where you have doubt if they are dyed and fake, but this test will not work for heat treated crystals like Citrine.
If a Turquoise crystal comes to you it means brilliant success and happiness is coming your way, fortune is favoring you.
To sum it up all Turquoise is an excellent healer and a protector, enabling self- realization and getting you free from feelings of martyrdom and self-sabotage. Turquoise is a crystal for December born.

Hey Taliakerch, I always suggest not to wear any stone on permanent basis. They should be used need based. I use them only for healing purpose and never advise anyone to wear anything on permanent basis. Though there are some like Amethyst, Rose quartz, Selenite whose energies are very very soothing and can be used all the time.
Specific crystals rule the zodiacs but I still advise to use it purpose specific :-)

ok, Nainaz, thanks for explanation!
so one person can choose several stones and change them?
i saw persons who only wear 1 definite stone, saying "it's MY stone"-)

Yes dear, we can work with several crystals at one time, but when we wear something we need to be mindful. We can make certain universal crystals as My 1 Stone, like the Amethyst, Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz these work on overall basis for us.
There are times when we are stuck with certain patterns in life, like unknown fear in such cases one can keep 1 Crystal which works best for the person in this area, otherwise it's good to use them need based.
This is a very exhaustive subject my dear and there is no right and wrong about it, here you go more with the experiences. Like just 1 e.g. I so closely work with crystals but there is one Crystal Citrine which when I wear makes me very aggressive but if I have it around in my space it works beautifully with me. You keep discovering their magic as you more and more work with them.

What a beautiful crystal, the colour is incredible and I love all the black veins that go around it.
It sounds like these are very rare and expensive, it must have taken you a long time to find such a fine example I hope it does bring you good protection.

Thank you @c0ff33a.
The unique formation of this crustal makes it one exclusive healing stone. They are rare to find but these days there is so much of duplicacy and people do not have enough knowledge so its very easy to get cheated on this one.

@nainaztengraI hope you enjoyed the Iran trip. The turquoise is really pretty! I currently utilize onyx for a pendulum and energy protection.

Thank you @bluefoxy, yes my trip was fabulous.
I use a Black Onyx pendulum only for Chord cuttings otherwise I use clear quartz pendulum. I have a huge collection of pendulums all for different purpose and I thoroughly enjoy working with them. My personal one is a mix of Rose quartz and clear quartz in a Angel shape and I am so attached to it.

I'm jealous of your collection lol I guess to me it doesn't matter what you use as long as you like it. I used a dog tag and my friend used a engagement ring. They both worked fine but the heavier objects drain your energy quicker. Do you have any tips for divining?

Yes @bluefoxy that's true that heavier objects drain out energy, and you can dowse with anything but when you use crystals the energy sync is wonderful.
Do you mean tips for Dowsing? Can you message me on dischord, I will surely give you a few

How awesome to know the characteristics of this beautiful crystal I did not know that the spiritual power that I had, what a beautiful experience I do not know Iran and although the news does not speak well of the country because of the crisis that exists, here in Venezuela we are not in war but if in crisis there I understood that it is not the fault of the country as such, but of the people who hurt that country and do not deserve to be removed from your travel list, so you have inspired me. I hope someday to know that land that some pictures I've seen is beautiful and play my Violin and that is my background, very good article this type of reading I like a lot is interesting. A pleasure I am new in your post so you will see me followed by here, if you want to relax with the sound of the violin, go through my profile you are welcome greetings

Thank you @kkarenmp for sharing your thoughts. Iran is a very beautiful place, it has amazing landscapes, but it's sad that geopolitically it''s so messed up. People there do not wish for any such thing and they want peace. It's a very self sustained country and people live in high spirits there. I wish there is peace always in this region :-)

Crystals are pure energy and with knowledge can be powerful tools for healing, well being and manifesting.
Like you I love them - all!
My fav is Clear Quartz, common with uncommon powers - the master crystal that supercharges them all and keeps the vibration high.
Glad you had an enjoyable and successful crystal shopping trip.

I am glad to have found one more Crystal lover. My favorite one is also Clear Quartz, it has wonders stored within in, but besides it I am also very much fond of Selenite, I find it very very peaceful and calming.
Love and Best Wishes for you @Idacey-laforge

I recently learned turquoise is associated with archangel Sandalphon? I like to wear it in the summer when water, swimming and fluid energies are stirrin and my Libra self likes some extra grounding... I bead jewelry on occasion and a novice at lapidary work. I cut a beautiful piece of light blue az turquoise last year, still need to set it, been waiting to put another stone with it. It's telling me this beautiful cat's eye ruby I have, or I have another option of a pink tourmaline? Any insights?
Lovely post thank you and blessings..

That's correct, AA Sandalphon stands up for Truth and Power and so does Turquoise.
I think the cat's eye ruby will blend well with Turquoise.
I wish you happy times with your crystals my dear
