Turquoise.
Turquoise (the "victory stone") is a fairly soft opaque mineral with a glass or wax luster related to the spar family, which gave the name to the color, which carries in itself various shades of a combination of green and blue colors (sky blue, bluish-grayish-green, ). The color of the stone depends on the amount of iron impurities - the more of them in turquoise, the more intense the green tint. Stones without iron impurities are painted in blue shades, from a gentle heavenly color to the color of azure.
Quite often turquoise contains inclusions of various minerals that give whitish, brownish, greenish spots.
In the East, whitish turquoise was considered young, blue - mature, and green - dead. Occasionally in nature there are transparent crystals of turquoise.
Turquoise has long been considered the embodiment of happiness, health, prosperity, eternal youth, love, hope and wealth.
Mages and shamans from different countries, from ancient times, used turquoise to reconcile and eliminate hostility, evil eye, spoilage, prosperity, success in business, reinforcement of intuition.
It was believed that turquoise helps only highly moral people. Angry and gloomy this mineral can not stand.
