Turquoise at all times was considered one of the most mysterious stones. The magical properties of turquoise stone are known far beyond the borders of Russia. The legends surrounding turquoise are so diverse and full of mystery that it will be difficult to cover them all even in a full-fledged book. Perhaps the most beautiful and gloomy story, telling about the magical properties of a turquoise stone, is the belief that this stone was formed from the bones of dead lovers, and that is why those who carried it with them were successful in amorous affairs.
Turquoise History
In the ancient world, this undoubtedly beautiful stone was considered the talisman of victory: they decorated harnesses of war horses to make them hardy and obedient, they inserted it into the shields of ancient soldiers and even decorated them with the crowns of rulers. Even in the midst of the colonial era, it was accepted that a man from a noble family always had jewelry in which turquoise was inserted. Stone, whose magical properties are completely unknown, closer to the eighteenth century, began to gain popularity among women. Boris Godunov himself believed that this mineral is able to bring and accumulate luck. In the armory you can admire his throne, inlaid with large turquoise inserts. But it is not in vain that the stone is not considered to help dishonorable people who neglect divine morality.
Confirmation of magical properties
Another mysterious phenomenon that confirms the magical properties of turquoise stone is its ability to change color (over time or when reacting with secretions of the human body). Ivan the Terrible was afraid of this stone, and before his death he complained that turquoise was dimming in his hands, and he himself predicted a quick death. Also known are the magical properties of turquoise stone used in healing. The beads or pendant in which this stone is present can reduce bleeding and are good for stomach ulcers and gastritis, as well as for liver diseases.
But if you frame the mineral with silver, then turquoise can save you from insomnia. A gold frame in combination with turquoise is perfect for those who suffer from reduced immunity (if the mineral has darkened, you should consult a doctor). However, this almost indispensable stone can negatively affect those in whose body a large amount of slag has accumulated. Therefore, many owners of this treasure are advised to have a cleansing diet or fast before wearing turquoise.
What does astrology say?
Astrologers also thought about what properties turquoise-stone has. The sign of the zodiac that can take advantage of all the magical sides of this mineral is Sagittarius. A person born under this sign will have luck and success in any of his endeavors. In addition, he will have the opportunity to realize all his ideas. However, other zodiac signs can take advantage of the magical properties of turquoise in cases of emergency. But for this you need to really believe in the miraculous possibilities of stone.
