Also known as "Firoza stone," the semi-precious stone is the national gem of Tibet. The name "turquoise" is taken after the French word "Pierre torques," which means "Turkish stone." The gem was first believed to be found in Turkey and later considered Turquoise during the 17th century. The aesthetic appeal not only makes it a sought-after choice for Statement Turquoise Pendants, but the shimmery gemstone is believed to release positive vibrations to provide inner peace, confidence, and spiritual enlightenment.
