December Birthstone ~ Turquoise ~
For centuries Turquoise has been recognized as possessing the power
to protect riders from injury due to falls. Turquoise is also
reputed to be influenced by the physical condition of the person who
wears it. It is thought to grow pale when its owner is sick or sad, lose
all color when the person dies, and gradually recover its color when
transferred to a new healthy owner, its color deepening each day.
Historically, Turquoise is credited with the property
of securing friendly regard, verifying the traditional saying that “he,
or she, who owns a Turquoise will never want for a friend.”
In the Orient, a Turquoise ring was worn as a protector against all
things evil. The proverb states: “Given by a loving hand it brings with
it happiness and good fortune.” However, the ring emitted protective
energy only if the stone was given by a friend. It was believed to
restore clear vision to the mind when the thinking became muddled and
thus ensured good fortune.
