Authentic Natural Turquoise (Firuze) Bead Strand (8mm)

A Stone of Protection and Ancient Wisdom

This beautiful strand is composed of 8mm beads of authentic natural Turquoise, a sacred stone revered for millennia as a powerful talisman of protection and good fortune. Its name, derived from the French “pierre tourques” or “Turkish stone,” reflects the ancient trade routes that brought it to Europe. Known as Firuze in the East, this opaque, blue-to-green mineral is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum. From the ceremonial masks of the Aztecs to the royal adornments of Egyptian pharaohs, Turquoise has been a symbol of wisdom, nobility, and the power of immortality. As a celebrated December birthstone, it carries the serene energy of the winter sky. This strand from our Turquoise collection is perfect for creating jewelry that is not only beautiful but also steeped in history and spiritual significance.
