Turquoise
The stone of protection
December's birthstone, and one of the oldest worn by people. Turquoise is porous, so its colour can change with oils and chemicals; keep it away from creams and water.
Worn across cultures as a protective amulet; associated with friendship and good fortune.

Caring for Turquoise
A softer stone that rewards a little care. Put it on last, after perfume and hairspray, and take it off before washing, swimming or exercise. Wipe with a dry soft cloth only and store on its own in its pouch.
