This is a pendant made with a Hubei Turquoise cabochon (stabilized and backed).  The pendant is approximatly 56 mm / 2.2 inches long.  
 
Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December, and is heralded as the stone of communication.  It encourages enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities.  Turquoise also provides understanding and encourages attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success.
 
Turquoise is a most efficient healer, providing solace for the spirit and well-being for the body.  It benefits the overall mood and emotion by balancing and inducing a sense of serenity and peace.  Holding or wearing Turquoise helps restore depleted vitality and lifts sagging spirits. It relieves stress and brings focus back to the center heart.  It is empathetic and balancing, helping one to recognize the causes of happiness and unhappiness, and to master them.
 
As a stone of purification, Turquoise dispels negative energy and clears electromagnetic smog from the environment.  It promotes self-realization and aids in creative problem-solving, thus calming the nerves when speaking in public.  Because it soothes the mind, Turquoise is good for jet lag and fears of flying.
 
Hubei Turquoise is an excellent anti-hysteria stone, worn to calm those with a tendency to over-react to situations.  It is also beneficial for narcissism, to help one look outside their own needs and to be open to other’s point of view.
