African “Lemon Turquoise” Cabochon. Shipped with USPS First Class. Shaped and polished from rough samples.

“Although African Turquoise is called Turquoise, it is actually not turquoise in the traditional sense. Rather, it is a form of jasper that is mined in Africa. The matrix of the stone with its beautiful [yellow-lemon], black and brown webs and spots is what truly makes the stone a beautiful substitute for the more expensive traditional turquoise.”

“If African Turquoise isn’t Turquoise at all, then what is it? Since it is a form of Jasper, and Jasper is a form of Chalcedony, then African Turquoise is technically a form of chalcedony, like agate and so many other stones. African Jasper contains crystal quartz which gives it an opaque appearance, in contrast to the usually transparent agate. It also has other inclusions, such as copper and iron, that contribute to its beautiful mottled color palette.”

“Metaphysically, African Turquoise is an evolutionary stone – it is supposed to help you to bring about necessary change in your life and open you up to what the future will hold for you. It helps you to balance your past and your future as you continue to become your true self. It is a stone of the Third Eye Chakra, opening your eyes and mind to new ideas and your true purpose. Carry it with you, and you will feel its reassurance as you explore new opportunities.”
