There are many superstitions associated with the turquoise. In the 3rd
century, it was believed to protect its owner from falling off a horse;
a change in colour revealed the infidelity of a wife.
It was
said to have a healing effect on the eye - merely looking at it
strengthened the eye. Turquoise was a barometer of its user’s health,
turning pale in illness and losing colour in death, yet regaining its
original beauty in the hands of a new and healthy owner.
Turquoise
is considered by some to be a symbol of good fortune and success,
bringing prosperity to its wearer. It heals and balances, and dispels
negative energy. It is also considered by some as a love charm, and
when received as a gift, the turquoise symbolizes a pledge of affection.
Friendship Balls were traditionally made by glass blowers at
the end of their shift with left over glass, given to family and
friends to attract good luck and friendship: they make a beautiful
gift.
