Turquoise - Our Tranquility Crystals
Turquoise is the color of the world at the vernal equinor
as the violets and blues of winter are melted away into the
greens of spring. It is the color of the Earth as the new
growth and life emerges.
Turquoise is the color of the balance point between the
cycles of life. As the old gives way to the new, as winter
gives way to spring, and as death gives way to new life,
turquoise balances the dark, the cold, and the old, with
the light, the warm, and the new.
Turquoise is the color ray of discovery and the color ray
of balance. Its vibrations help us find ourselves and return
to equilibrium in our lives and feelings.
Turquoise-colored crystals have a wide variety of healing
uses. They temper excesses, restore calm after a storm,
soothe us, relieve stress, neutralize extremes, and provide
a counter to tendencies to fly off in a single direction.
They help us to overcome conflict and to deal with rage
in others or ourselves. They moderate aggressiveness and
help us deal with cruelty. They are antidotes to excessive
passion, drawing this power from their blue component.
The turquoise-colored crystals help us relax, rewind, and
build our tolerance. When you seek to get your emotions
under control, use a turquoise-colored crystal
In lighter shades, turquoise energy is transformed to the
power of inner harmony and peace through spiritual
realization and understanding. To know your place in the
worlds of man and nature, use light blue/green turquoise
rays to find the right balance.
In darker, richer tones, turquoise brings us a ray of
considerable power. It is the color of flexibility. We grow
more intolerant of new things as we age. Dark turquoise
rays give us openness to new ideas, foster new
perspectives, and help us adapt to new environments.
Besides the mineral turquoise, there are several other
minerals and crystals that contain this color ray. Rosasite,
selenite, apatite, chrysocolla, topaz, and larimar (pectolite)
all are found to contain this potent color ray.
