Working with it

A stone for thresholds and journeys, travel, moves, first days, hard conversations. Traditionally worn at the throat or on the speaking hand. Practitioners watch its color: lore says turquoise dulls when it has absorbed on your behalf.

Care & keeping

Turquoise is soft and porous, no water soaks, no perfumes, no salt. Cleanse with smoke or moonlight only. It is a stone that ages with its wearer; the deepening color is a record, not a flaw.
