SPECIMEN — Polished turquoise on matrix
LOCALE — Timberline, Northern Nevada, U.S.A.

This piece is completely natural (no waxes, dyes, resins, or other treatments). Only 3 to 5 percent of all turquoise mined is a hard high-quality material that does not need any stabilization. That is why natural turquoise is so valued, being more rare and less abundant. The rest is low to medium grade and is soft and chalky, requiring stabilization. In recent years natural turquoise has been exceedingly harder and harder to get as most of the turquoise was mined years ago.

“The Great Unifier”

ENERGY: Peaceful, Empowering, Flowing, Accepting, Uplifting

FOCUS: Embrace, accept, and integrate all aspects of self to create a harmonious existence built on self-love and deep understanding and appreciation of who you are

Light blue, aqua-colored stones resonate with the throat chakra but they do a lot more than optimize our verbal speaking abilities. Expression is not just what we say out loud using our voice, but rather how we energetically communicate and project our essence. Our lives reflect the energy we emit, so when we operate in alignment with our authenticity, that is mirrored back to us by all the positive things we manifest. We are all here to experience fulfillment by living out our soul purpose. Many of us have become so disconnected from our higher self’s needs that we don't know what our soul's purpose is or even who we really are. As a result, our lives feel like they are happening to us rather than with our participation. These stones connect us with who we are at our core so that we can translate that through our ways of being. They support the open and free communication of our higher self, ensuring that all our endeavors are rooted in heart-centered and truthful expression. They are particularly useful for artists and creative types when experiencing creative blocks. They are also excellent for healing spaces, for instance in a therapist's office. The energy of these stones is peaceful, gentle, cooling, watery, unrestricted, serene, reflective, honest, relaxing, and calming.
