"Turkish Stone," primarily traded through Turkey in the past, became known as Turquoise in the 13th century. It was a favorite of the ancient Egyptians and Chinese, the Aztecs and the Navajo Indians who bestowed it with great powers. Turquoise jewelry was often worn for good luck and protection. A copper content in the stone gives it a blue color and iron makes it green. This bohemian, southwest themed cactus charm bracelet is charming and lightweight. We use high-quality silver plating with genuine turquoise accent beads. The charms featured are cactus, rattlesnake, roadrunner, gecko, and skull shaped.
