TURQUOISE: The Lucky Stone When workmen opened the tomb of queen Zen of Egypt, who died 7000 years ago, they discovered, among other things, four beautiful gold and turquoise bracelets encircling the arm of the mummy. These are the oldest pieces of jewelry ever discovered. The ancient Egyptians were captivated by Turquoise and sent large expeditions of up to 3000 workers, under military escort, into the Sinai peninsula for the sole purpose of mining Turquoise and other minerals. Over the centuries the use of Turquoise spread over the world to many lands. From Persia it spread over the hills to Turkey and from there to the countries of Europe. Early French and Italian traders who carried the stones out of Turkey gave its modern name Pierre Turquoise, "Turkish Stone".
Turquoise has been used for personal adornment in almost all countries of the world. The Persians wore it, the Tibetans, Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, Incas and of course the Indians of our own Southwest, who have been mining and wearing it since the time of Christ. Turquoise has decorated the thrones of Kings, inlaid in the crowns of kings and queens and appeared in the crown jewels of many countries. During the 15th century the Queen of France gave a gold ring set with Turquoise to King James IV of Scotland as a pledge of friendship. When Queen Elizabeth of England was married, her gift from the President of Mexico was an exact replica of a prehistoric Nahuate (Aztec) brooch of gold inlaid with Turquoise and so on.
Turquoise has a meaning all it's own for many different peoples; some thought it strengthened the eyes of the wearer; others that it protected them from injury in falls; etc. But down through the ages is a universal belief by all that Turquoise is a symbol of Health, Good Fortune, and Prosperity. Turquoise is indeed the "LUCKY STONE". By R.H. Curtis
