Turquoise is composed of a hydrous copper aluminum sulfate (Cu4Al2SO4(OH)12 · 2H2O) and is found in a huge range of various colors of blue, greenish blue or deep green. Stones bearing rich blues are caused by an abundance of copper while those that are more green contain more aluminum. The name means "Turkish stone". Turquoise is quite porous and readily absorbs liquids and oils. Turquoise is a master healing stone that promotes spontaneity in romance and stimulates the initiation of romantic love. It balances and aligns all chakras and can bring all energies to a higher level. It is a healer of the spirit and provides a soothing energy for peace of mind.
