About turquoise

Turquoise ranges from sky-blue to green, often with a darker web of matrix veining, and in India it is known as Firoza. It has been used as a protective talisman in many cultures, from Persia to the Americas, and is a traditional birthstone for December. In Vedic practice a gemstone is normally chosen after a chart review by a qualified astrologer, since suitability depends on the individual horoscope. Its traditional associations are symbolic, not promises of any result.
