Known for it’s consistent application in Indian made jewelry turquoise has been used for thousands of years. As one of the oldest known minerals it was mined and used to decorate Egyptian, Chinese and Aztec jewelry. Turquoise is believed to have mystical qualities. It was used to take away bad energy, summon spirits, heal numerous ailments and enhance confidence. The turquoise stone is said to also cleanse poisons in your system. Some people even believe that it can bring friends closer together by opening channels for love to flow.
Going through a few of our items you will see a semi-common stone bead called “Agate”. Agate stones generally form within cavities inside volcanic rocks. The available colors can be white, grey, light blue, orange, red and black. Depending on how the actual agate bead is created from the raw stone there may be a sort of “banding” in the bead. This banding is created by a chemical reaction that happened long ago in layers as the stone was being created by nature.
