Turquoise:

Turquoise is a blue-to-green mineral that has been prized for its unique color and aesthetic appeal for thousands of years. Composed mainly of hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, it forms through the weathering and oxidation of pre-existing minerals. Turquoise is found in arid regions around the world, with notable deposits in Iran, Egypt, Mexico, and the southwestern United States.

Fun Fact:

A fun fact about turquoise is that it can change color over time due to exposure to elements like sunlight, oils, and chemicals. This color-changing property made it a popular stone for use in amulets and talismans in ancient cultures, where people believed it could indicate the health or fortune of the wearer. For instance, if the turquoise turned green, it was thought to signal impending danger or illness, while a vibrant blue hue was considered a sign of good fortune and protection. This mystical quality added to turquoise's allure and cemented its place in the lore and legends of many civilizations, including the Native Americans and Persians.
