The name Turquoise means ‘Turkish stone’ because the trade route that brought it to Europe used to come via Turkey. Some high quality deposits are in the Middle East but there are many around the world, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, Mexico, Tanzania, New Mexico, and Arizona. Turquoise is used to promote wholeness, communication and spiritual expansion.

Variscite is found in Utah and Nevada in the United States as well as Queensland, Australia. It is associated with inner peace, love and compassion, simplicity, clarity, and emotional healing.
