🔵 The Meaning of Turquoise: The Ancient Guardian
**Turquoise** is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It acts as a bridge between Heaven (blue) and Earth (green).
It is the most efficient healer for the Throat Chakra, providing solace for the spirit and well-being for the body. It enhances communication and creativity.
🔍 Real vs. Fake Turquoise: The Acetone Test
Most “Turquoise” sold today is actually Dyed Howlite (a white stone dyed blue). Here is how to verify your Buddha Bodhis jewelry:
- The Acetone Wipe: Dip a cotton swab in nail polish remover (acetone) and rub a hidden spot. If blue color comes off, it is dyed. Real Turquoise color is stable.
- The Matrix: Real Turquoise has a natural, uneven matrix (veins). If the veins are too perfect or look like “spiderwebs” painted on, it is likely fake or reconstituted.
- Price: Natural Turquoise is rare and valuable. If it is incredibly cheap and perfectly uniform in color, be suspicious.
