Turquoise jewelry
Turquoise comes in a variety of colors ranging from light blue to dark blue, veined with black. Turquoise deposits are found in many countries: Tibet, China, Iran, Afghanistan, Mexico, United States (Arizona), Chile, Australia, Israel, Tanzania. Very present in Buddhist, Nepalese, or Tibetan jewelry, it symbolizes material and spiritual wealth. Turquoise blue in Buddhism represents the life of humans in their life/death duality and earth/sky wisdom.
The etymology of the name "turquoise" comes from Turkish stone, because it was in Turkey that Europeans found it (and this although the mineral was imported from Iran). It was she who gave its name to the color turquoise blue.
