Turquoise stones are known for their beautiful blue coloration but they also come in green shades too! It is an extremely popular stone with jewellery designers, due to its bright colour and interesting texture.
The word 'turquoise' comes from the French word for Turkey (the country), which is where this gemstone was first discovered in the 9th century BC. These stones have been used throughout history by people from all walks of life including royalty from ancient Egypt as well as Native Americans who used them for both decorative and healing purposes.
