Chapter 7: Turquoise – Finding Harmony in the Skies

I wanted to share a chapter from the book I've been working on. It's been a long time in the making, and I'm thrilled to finally share it with you. Throughout 2025, I'll be sharing chapters from this book, and I hope to complete it by the end of the year. This journey has been such a labor of love, and each chapter feels like a piece of my heart.

I picked Turquoise to share because it’s one of my favorite stones. Its grounding energy helps me stay present and calm, especially during challenging times. Turquoise has always brought me back to center, providing a sense of harmony that I hope you feel through these words. It's also December's birthstone, making this the perfect moment to bring its energy to you. In each chapter, I’ve included a special ceremony and case studies from my clients over the years—these stories reflect the deep, healing connection that gemstones can offer.

This week, I'm so excited to share a sneak peek from my upcoming book, Sacred Stones: A Journey into the Healing Powers of Gemstones. Turquoise has always been one of my favorite stones, and I feel such a deep connection with it. It has seen me through difficult times, provided comfort, and has truly brought more harmony into my life. I hope that this special connection I feel can also reach you.

Discovering the Tranquil Depths of Turquoise

Turquoise is a powerful healing stone, perfect for those born in December, or anyone seeking harmony and balance. Its beautiful sky-blue hue is instantly calming, but there's so much more beneath the surface—rich cultural significance and the ability to foster emotional equilibrium and clear communication.

There’s something about December that feels like a soft exhale. Maybe it’s the end-of-year reflections, or perhaps it’s the brisk air that makes every breath feel a little more meaningful. This month, I want to talk about a gemstone that holds a very special place in my heart: Turquoise. Not just because it’s December's birthstone, but because its sky-blue energy has a way of reminding us that harmony is always within reach.

—we just have to remember to look up and breathe.

Turquoise has been cherished by countless cultures across time, and it’s not hard to see why. With its unique blend of calm and power, this stone is more than just beautiful; it’s a reminder of the bond between the earth and sky, of finding balance between our inner voices and the outer world. Today, I invite you to step into the tranquil world of Turquoise with me, and discover why this stone has the power to change not just your mood, but your relationships, your home, and perhaps even the way you connect to yourself.

Harmony in Communication

They call Turquoise the "Stone of Communication," and it’s easy to understand why. Turquoise has this gentle yet profound way of opening us up—helping us say the things we’ve been holding back, both to others and to ourselves. It encourages us to speak with clarity and honesty, fostering deeper connections. When I wear Turquoise, I can feel its soothing energy work its way up from my heart to my throat, easing my words and clearing away the fear that often keeps us from sharing what’s true. I think of it as a bridge between the mind and heart, helping our thoughts flow smoothly into words.

Emotional Equilibrium and Stress Relief

Turquoise isn't just for speaking—it’s for listening, too. It reminds us to listen to our bodies, our hearts, and the people around us. When life gets stormy, Turquoise offers shelter. It’s like that friend who knows just when to give you a reassuring nod, who helps you stay grounded even as the winds howl. Its energy is stabilizing, encouraging us to weather emotional ups and downs with grace, reminding us that we are resilient.

I remember a particularly tough season in my life, where I found myself clinging to a simple Turquoise bracelet for comfort. I would turn it over gently between my fingers whenever I needed that reminder to take a deep breath, soften my thoughts, and come back to myself. It became a quiet companion, offering me support in the way only something so deeply connected to the earth could.

Throat Chakra Activation

For those familiar with the chakra system, Turquoise works wonders for the throat chakra—the energy center that governs self-expression. Whether you’re someone who finds it challenging to speak up or simply want to enhance your confidence when communicating, Turquoise can help. I find that when I wear it near my throat, there’s this subtle but powerful shift. Words feel less stuck, ideas flow more freely, and there’s an ease in expressing my truest self—which, let’s face it, can sometimes be one of the hardest things to do.

A Gem with a Rich History

Turquoise is a stone that tells stories—of lands, cultures, and people who have cherished it for centuries. Ancient Egyptians adorned their burial masks with it, believing in its sacred protection even beyond life. In Persia, Turquoise was revered as a guardian against the evil eye, while to Native American tribes like the Navajo, it represented a bridge between the spiritual and earthly realms. To wear Turquoise is to wear history, to feel a connection to ancient wisdom and timeless traditions. I love how Turquoise jewelry feels like a little bit of magic from the past, guiding us in the present.

Turquoise Alchemy for Your Living Spaces

Inviting Turquoise into your home can be like adding a dose of tranquility to your everyday life. I’ve experimented with placing Turquoise in different rooms, and each has its own beautiful effect:

• Living Room: A piece of Turquoise on a coffee table creates a welcoming space for conversation. It makes guests feel at ease, inviting them to relax and speak openly.

• Bedroom: On my nightstand, a small Turquoise stone has been like a gentle companion, easing the stress of the day and encouraging a more restful sleep.

• Home Office: I’ve found that keeping Turquoise near my workspace helps me stay clear-headed and focused, especially during those moments when communication is key.

• Meditation Corner: Holding Turquoise during meditation helps me feel more connected to the vastness of the sky—reminding me that, just like the sky, my spirit is open and expansive.

• Kitchen or Dining Area: A small piece in the kitchen brings a sense of joy and harmony, encouraging authentic communication around meals—a time when we gather not just for nourishment, but for connection.

Jamie's Story: Turquoise Healing and Stress Relief

I want to share a story that illustrates the magic of Turquoise. Jamie, a friend of mine, was struggling with intense stress at work. She started wearing a woven Turquoise bracelet, and while she was skeptical at first, something shifted. She said it wasn’t just the stone—it was the feeling of having something steady and comforting on her wrist that helped her through those difficult conversations. It was like the gentle blue of Turquoise reminded her of the sky’s vastness, helping her take a step back, breathe, and find calm. She found herself speaking more from her heart, and over time, that bracelet became a symbol of her inner peace.

Closing Reflection

If you’re drawn to Turquoise, let its calming energy be your guide to greater harmony this December. Whether it’s about finding the right words to say, finding balance amidst stress, or simply inviting serene beauty into your home, Turquoise is here as a gentle yet profound companion. I hope that this beautiful blue stone reminds you, no matter how cloudy life gets, that there is always a sky above—open, endless, and full of possibility.

This blog is just a sneak peek from my upcoming book, Sacred Stones: A Journey into the Healing Powers of Gemstones, which I’m so excited to share throughout 2025 as I continue to work on it. My hope is to have it completed by the end of the year, bringing all these stories and experiences together. Stay tuned for more of these gemstone stories that bring light and meaning to our lives.
