Very pretty real Turquoise drops - a lovely untreated pair of green smooth Turquoise hanging from a Nelumbo stud
Unique piece
Turquoise is a lucky stone for the planet Jupiter. It is the birthstone for people born in December and is one of the first ever gemstones to be mined and has long been prized for its intense and desirable colour
Many cultures used Turquoise in jewellery including the Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, Persians, and Mesopotamians. Despite its fame, the silver and Turquoise jewellery produced by the Navajo began quite recently by contrast to the other cultures. Ancient Egyptian grave furnishings from around 3000 BCE have been discovered although the oldest archaeological evidence is from around 5000 BC in Bulgaria
