A Gau (also spelled Ghau or Gao) is a Tibetan Buddhist amulet container or prayer box, usually made of metal and worn as jewelry. As a small container used to hold and carry powerful amuletic objects, the Gau is culturally equivalent to Latin American package amulets, African-American conjure bags or mojo hands, South American charm vials, and American wish boxes.
Because they are worn as jewelry, Gaus are made of metal and are often ornamented with semi-precious stones, but they vary enormously in style according to the taste of the designer.
Throughout history, turquoise has been attributed with a range of meanings and symbolism. This stone has often been associated with protection, luck, and abundance. In many cultures, it is believed that wearing turquoise can ward off negative energies and bring good fortune.
Dreams about coral are believed to foretell recovery from a long illness. Ancients believed that Mars was composed of red coral.
