A late Victorian child’s gold ring, inset with an oval turquoise cabochon.
The turquoise appears a slightly mottled slightly bluish green, minor matrix marks. Green turquoise is thought especially useful for clearing the throat chakra and unblocking self-expression.
Turquoise rings have been given as a protector against all things evil, though only when given by a friend.
The Native Indians believed that blue stones had a ‘male’ Father Sky energy and green turquoise a ‘female’ energy, associated more with Mother Earth, however today the belief is that turquoise empowers men and women equally and when worn or carried are a talisman for power, luck and protection, ambition and success.
