AFRICAN TURQUOISE (JASPER)



In our post yesterday, we mentioned that Howlite is dyed and sold as Turquoise.  The stone in today’s highlight piece is called African Turquoise.  African Turquoise is not actually true turquoise but is teal Jasper mined in Africa.  It has the same structure and colour tones as turquoise.  African Turquoise has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.  African Turquoise can range in colour from emerald to teal blue.  The word “Turquoise” is derived from French and is translated as “Turkish Stone”. 

African Turquoise is a transformational and evolutionary stone.  It is said to assists us in moving forward and being open to new ideas and concepts.  It helps us to be open to change, growth and new possibilities. 

African Turquoise is associated with wisdom.

If you are seeking direction for your higher self and greater good, this is the stone of choice. 

African Turquoise is associated with the Third Eye Chakra.
