Turquoise is another very popular December birthstone (along with blue topaz, lapis lazuli and tanzanite).
This gemstone is said to help make the connection to the spirit worlds by helping to align chakras with subtle bodies and attuning the physical with the spiritual. Turquoise instills inner calm and is a healer of the spirit.
Turquoise symbolizes beauty. In the Middle Ages it was believed that it made women virtuous and loyal. It was also known to protect against harm.
The healing properties of turquoise are said to help in the treatment of throat and lung infections, hyperpepsia and general stomachaches, rheumatism and gout. It is known to alleviate pains and inflammation and has detoxifying properties.
Psychologically it calms overactive thoughts, inspires creativity and heightens intuition.
I have added vibrant blue apatite gemstones to the earrings above as apatite is said to encourage intuition during meditation and helps to overcome problems. In addition to the healing and magical properties found in these stones, the colour and texture combination is simply gorgeous.
