Turquoise, associated with protection and fortune, is linked with Sagittarius and numerology No.3. Though not a Navratna gem, it is widely respected in Vedic remedial traditions for calming and protective influence. In Biblical heritage, blue stones symbolized heaven and divine protection. Greek and Roman cultures believed turquoise protected travelers and warriors. Middle Eastern and Persian traditions highly valued turquoise as a protective talisman against envy and misfortune. Across Asian traditions, especially in Tibet and Central Asia, turquoise symbolized sky energy, prosperity, and spiritual balance. Turquoise is traditionally chosen for protection, travel safety, and good fortune.

Types & Origins

Persian (Nishapur, Iran) turquoise is historically considered the finest, prized for its pure sky-blue color with minimal matrix. American turquoise, particularly from Arizona (Sleeping Beauty mine), is known for vibrant blue tones and smooth texture. Tibetan turquoise often features distinctive matrix patterns and is deeply embedded in spiritual jewellery traditions. Additional sources include Egypt, China, and Mexico, each producing stones with varying matrix veining and shades from sky blue to greenish-blue.
