Introduction
The Turquoise stone is associated with Jupiter’s planet, also known as Firoza Ratna. This comes in greenish-blue and light blue to dark blue colors. It is normal for some light-to-dark spots to appear in this (especially in Iranian firoza). Like Blue sapphire, it shows its effect very quickly. It’s a semi-precious birthstone for December-born people. Turquoise is named after the country of Turkey.
