About the stone:

Golden Hill Lavender turquoise is a rare, high-grade turquoise from the Altyn-Tyube mine in Kazakhstan. Mined primarily in the winter months due to harsh mining conditions, this material is best known for its distinct pastel lavender-blue coloring and chocolate-colored matrix. 

Crystal lore: 

Turquoise is an ancient, revered stone symbolizing sky, water, health, and protection across cultures. Historically prized by Native Americans, it was worn as a protective amulet, believed to guard against evil, bring good fortune, and strengthen warriors. It is often associated with calmness, wisdom, and friendship, and is widely considered a stone of communication, believed to enhance clarity, confidence, and honest self-expression through the throat chakra.

Please note: All of my jewelry is handcrafted with love and intention in my tiny Pittsburgh, PA home studio. Due to the handmade nature of this craft, there may be slight imperfections, making each one-of-a-kind piece charmingly imperfect (just the way that handmade jewelry is intended to be).
