Turquoise

Strongly connected to the throat chakra, Turquoise enhances clear communication, creative expression, emotional balance, and inner peace. It bridges the physical and spiritual realms, fostering honest self-expression while strengthening bonds of friendship, loyalty, and trust.

Among healers, Turquoise is widely regarded as a stone of exceptional psychic protection. For this reason, it is traditionally believed that the stone should only be handled by its owner, regardless of how close another person may be.

Many Native American tribes celebrate Turquoise as the ‘reflection’ of Father Sky and wear elaborate pieces of jewellery inlaid with the pale blue stone to protect them during the night time when the sky is dark or at times when, during sacred ceremonies, their spirit roams free as their body rests and waits for them inside the ‘Kiva’ or ‘sweat lodge’.

Many Native American tribes honour Turquoise as a reflection of Father Sky. Elaborate jewellery inlaid with the pale blue stone is worn for protection, particularly at night or during sacred ceremonies, when the spirit is believed to journey while the body rests within the kiva or sweat lodge.

Copper Mohave Turquoise carries the ancient healing wisdom of Turquoise amplified by the conductive power of copper. Metaphysically, it is regarded as a stone of deep restoration and energetic flow, believed to help move stagnant energy through the body while supporting vitality, balance, and overall wellbeing. The presence of copper is said to enhance the stone’s healing frequency, encouraging circulation—both physical and energetic—and strengthening the connection between body and spirit.

Spiny Oyster Turquoise is a collaboration between Mother Nature and skilled human artistry. Formed by pressing Spiny Oyster shell and Turquoise together and stabilising them with resin, each piece is entirely unique. No two designs are ever the same, making every creation a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Metaphysically, Spiny Oyster Turquoise is believed to offer strong protection against negative energies while supporting the healing of the emotional body. It is associated with restoring balance across the chakras and soothing energetic disharmony. Some healers work with this stone to support emotional regulation during times of stress, particularly when the body is experiencing imbalance or heightened sensitivity. Autoimmune conditions—often described as the body struggling to distinguish between healthy cells and perceived threats—are believed by energy practitioners to be influenced by emotional stress, anxiety, shock, or inherited patterns. By working gently on the emotional body, Spiny Oyster Turquoise is thought to encourage calm, balance, and relief during periods of energetic or emotional flare-ups.

Spiny Oyster shells are harvested from the seabed at depths ranging from nine to forty-five metres in coastal waters spanning the Gulf of California down to the northern coast of Peru. Technically classified as a thorny mollusc, Spiny Oysters are still collected by hand. This demanding practice has been passed down through generations, with divers trained to reach great depths while holding their breath. Naturally purple Spiny Oysters inhabit deeper waters, making them far rarer, more difficult to obtain, and significantly more valuable. The collection of these shells remains a highly skilled and risky endeavour.

Historically, the Aztecs revered Spiny Oyster shell, incorporating it into jewellery and sacred artefacts, including ceremonial masks, where it symbolised power, protection, and spiritual significance.
