Turquoise is well-known for its beautiful bluey-green colour and once served as a unit of currency among some Native American groups.
In Tibet, it was thought to offer the wearer protection against the evil eye and was often used as an amulet to bring health, happiness and good fortune.
In Asia and parts of Europe, it was regarded as protection for riders from falling off their horses. It was also believed to help improve and maintain good relationships, so it was often given as a friendship or love token.
