Quality
Most Turquoise comes out of the Earth too crumbly to cut into spheres without being stabilized first—a process that renders the gem’s healing energies unavailable. Healing Turquoise is of a high enough quality that it doesn’t need this treatment. It’s completely natural. But it does vary in color, clarity, and candescence, and we grade it accordingly.
Color
Turquoise with a color grade of 3A means it has some minimal natural discoloration when examined very closely, or it’s pale compared to the higher grades. Turquoise rated 4A, 5A, or 6A has a progressively brighter and more intense color. A very rare variation of Turquoise that we call Cerulean appears a bright, rich, bluish turquoise.
Clarity
Turquoise used in jewelry often contains some of the rock that it grows upon. Healing-quality Turquoise has none of this rock matrix visible—not even tiny amounts.
Turquoise clarity grades usually apply to the amount of tiny white speckles typical of Turquoise. Gems with 3A clarity may have so many of these pinpoints that the color appears lighter overall. Such Turquoise would have a 3A color grade as well.
4A material may have some very tiny white pinpoints, and a 5A clarity grade means the sphere color is nearly perfectly homogenous and unpunctuated by markings of any kind. It is possible to have a 3A color grade with 5A clarity and vice versa.
Candescence and Cut
Turquoise candescence refers to the quality of its polish and overall brightness. Most spheres are uniformly cut, so we give them a standard 3A cut grade. This is the highest grade we give to spheres.
Size
The larger and higher the quality of the spheres, the more deeply, quickly, and effectively they can work.
How It Works
Turquoise is absorbing, retrieving, centering, and uplifting. It’s also drying and cooling. It has an affinity with time and a strong attraction for the supraphysical aura, which is the layer of the aura closest to your physical body.
Because Turquoise’s qualities work together, it’s best to talk about them in pairs.
Absorbing and Uplifting
Turquoise is an excellent healing tool due to its ability to absorb and disperse unwanted energy. You might compare it to a sponge that you use to soak up spilled water. Every so often, as the sponge fills up, you squeeze it out, leaving the sponge moist.
Turquoise absorbs unwanted energy like the sponge sops up water, then disperses most of it as though squeezing out the sponge. The small amount that remains compels the Turquoise to then look for more of that same unwanted energy elsewhere in the body.
When you stop wearing the necklace for a day or two, the unwanted energy it has absorbed dissipates, just as a wet sponge will eventually dry up.
Turquoise’s uplifting quality occurs in tandem with its absorbing property. As the Turquoise soaks up unwanted energy, it rids the body of its lower vibrations. As a result, you are lifted closer to your supraphysical self. The higher your vibrations, the easier it is to self-heal.
Turquoise & Moonstone will lift the vibrations of your entire physical body as a whole, whether you wear the gems as a necklace or place them on certain areas of your body. When you remove the necklace at night, there will be some degree of retreat from the vibratory level you achieved when you were wearing the gems during the day. This is a natural part of the process. Each consecutive day you wear the gems, the easier it will be to reach and maintain new vibrational heights.
Absorbing and Cooling
Excess heat can build up in the body for a number of reasons, including intense emotions, prolonged pain and inflammation, and thoughts that run constantly like an overworked machine. In many cases, electromagnetic radiation that gets caught in the body instead of passing through it can create heat to the point of damage.
One of the best ways to mitigate this heat is simply to wear healing gemstones that have a cooling nature. Turquoise not only has the ability to absorb harmful EMR, but it can also help cool the body down.
Turquoise’s process is to absorb and disperse. It absorbs some of the EMR that it draws out of your body and dissipates the rest. Then it looks for more of that same type of unwanted energy elsewhere in your body. Its centering effect focuses on this collected energy and uses it as a sort of reference to locate and absorb more of the same.
While this necklace cannot protect you from harmful EMR, it can help your body become more resilient to it. Just as you gain natural immunity to other threats, you have to be exposed to the EMR, then heal from it, in order to gain resiliency. But it’s very hard for the body to learn that resilience if it’s drowning in EMR. Wearing Turquoise & Moonstone is a simple way to dissipate the pools of harmful EMR in your body to help prevent further damage and make it easier for your body to develop some level of immunity.
Centering and Retrieving
Turquoise’s centering and retrieving effects, combined with its affinity with time, help you to be more comfortable and present in the here and now. From your position in the present moment, you can retrieve information from the past that’s stored in the causal body. This might be needed to address the reason for the low vibrations that cling to you and weigh you down. Once the underlying issues are resolved, the low vibrations can be released.
Retrieving has to do with Turquoise’s affinity with the time track, which includes the past, present, and future. Turquoise teaches us that time is like a fabric that consists of temporal fibers.
All organs and tissues have their own temporal fibers that can be identified, accessed, and assessed.
Healthy areas have fibers that reach from the present moment into the future. This is important, because they need to be able to anticipate the future and retrieve information from it in order to be well prepared for it. Having resources ready and on hand to meet what’s coming is necessary to maintain good health—and far more important than having past information handy.
A healthy area’s history is safely stored in the causal body, where it is still accessible if and when the body needs it. But its temporal fibers reach only from the present into the future.
Areas that are overwhelmed by their imbalances have a history that remains with them until they heal. They need to look to the past to identify the causes there and retrieve information from lessons learned. This is part of their healing process.
Unhealthy areas tend to not feel or sense a future, and rarely have fibers that reach there. These areas are consumed by the need to understand and heal root causes. But how can an organ heal if it does not have a relationship with its future? Unable to see a path forward, it has no hope for a healthier state. As a result, it loses touch with its intelligence centers and gets caught in a downward spiral of poor health.
As health wanes, the fibers that reach into the future shorten. When a tipping point is reached, an anchor is placed in that moment. As the body moves into the future, a fiber builds from this origin point to the present moment. Hence, the temporal fiber of an unhealthy area reaches from present time to its origin point in the past, when the initial weakness in that area began.
This point in time is usually well before any physical or emotional trauma takes place. Traumatic events tend to be products of the original weakness, not their cause. Turquoise teaches us to move beyond the trauma, to the circumstances that led the body away from health, over the tipping point to the creation of the origin point.
When you wear Turquoise & Moonstone, your body gets a very clear understanding of where it is in the here and now. The gems can help your body find its center in the present moment. If an unhealthy area gains enough resources to access the here and now, it can also extend its temporal fibers to the future. In doing so, it crosses back over the tipping point, lets go of its past, and takes a huge step forward on its healing journey.
Absorbing and Drying
Turquoise has a significant drying nature, but it doesn’t dry by pulling moisture from the body. Rather, it helps the body find a balance between dryness and moisture and separate them appropriately. Nonetheless, it will be a helpful tool for people who have excess moisture in their body.
Excess weight, for example, is often associated with excess moisture. If you’re overweight, you might try holding a Turquoise & Moonstone necklace over your storage system windows in addition to wearing the necklace. This can help your body understand why it needed to collect moisture in the first place.
An overweight person will often have dryness on the inside and excess moisture on the outside. This is the exact opposite of a person who is not carrying excess weight. Their moisture is on the inside, protected by a layer of dryness on the outside. This does not mean your skin should be uncomfortably dry, but the outside layer should be drier than the moist layers beneath.
The best protective boundaries have a dry nature and are naturally absorbing. They can help deflect incoming thoughts, emotions, and unwanted energies you don’t want or need.
Wearing Turquoise & Moonstone as an everyday therapeutic tool will help your body’s core to become moist and its surrounding boundary, dry.
If your goal is weight loss, consult a health-care professional for guidance. Then supplement your plan with Turquoise & Moonstone for energetic support.
How to Use
Wear the Necklace in Cycles
Turquoise & Moonstone is best worn in cycles, and not constantly. Each cycle may last a few hours or a full day, followed by a rest from the gems at night. During this time, you’ll need to allow your body to adjust and reset itself so that the gems can do more for you the following day.
You’ll get the most from this necklace if you follow these cycles regularly. The energy the Turquoise absorbs from you guides its work, but that energy will dissipate if not replaced daily.
You can use this tendency to your advantage if you’d like the gems to work with another issue, or you want to try a different approach to the same problem. Simply stop wearing the necklace for a couple of days, and then resume daily wear.
System Window Placement for Moisture Imbalance
Moisture imbalances can be addressed simply by wearing the Turquoise & Moonstone necklace. You can also try a more focused approach with either a necklace or bracelet placement. To do this, hold the gems in your hand over the windows of the system most associated with the moisture imbalance.
When moisture is associated with excess fat storage, try holding the gems at your storage system windows.
When moisture is accumulating in the legs, place the gems at the lymphatic system windows.
When moisture imbalance is located in the lungs (loose cough), hold the gems at the respiratory system windows.
Gemstone Therapy students who know the 20 systems and their window locations can find out which system is most affected by moisture and apply Turquoise & Moonstone there.
More Placement Options
Turquoise’s drying nature comes in handy when you have a system, organ, or meridian that’s too moist. Holding a single Turquoise sphere on the window of that organ or system, or the affected acupoint, will help these areas find a healthier balance between their own dryness and moisture.
The sphere also absorbs some of the excess moisture. At the same time, it retrieves information about why this excessive moisture has accumulated. Once that information is inside the Turquoise sphere, you can impart it to the rest of the body.
To do this, place the Turquoise sphere in the center of the manubrium to broadcast that information throughout the aura, or centered on the xiphoid, where it can be shared inside the body.
This allows the body to better understand the underlying causes of the excess moisture so it can address them and help prevent excess moisture from accumulating again.
A necklace is inefficient for this technique because it isn’t able to focus on the window like a single sphere can. However, a necklace or bracelet can be held at a system window to help alleviate its excess moisture.
Numerology
When you compare our Turquoise & Moonstone necklace and bracelet, you’ll notice similarities and differences in the designs.
In both the necklace and bracelet, the Turquoise is arranged in groups of five spheres whenever possible, with a knot between sections. This enhances the benefit of Turquoise’s affinity with memory, which is associated with the number five.
Both designs also contain three sections of Moonstone. In the necklace, one segment has a single Moonstone, and the other two have three Moonstone beads. In the bracelet, the three groupings include one, three, and five Moonstone spheres respectively.
We could have kept the Moonstone sections the same as in the necklace, with one, three, and three. But a segment with five gives us an increasing number of Moonstone beads from one section to the next.
This is important because arranging the symbiotic gems in increasing numbers helps keep energy moving around the bracelet. That way, you get a greater benefit from a relatively small amount of Turquoise.
The Turquoise & Moonstone necklace is designed with a single Moonstone in the very front to support the wearer’s central meridian.
In comparison, the bracelet is made to support multiple meridians. Of the several meridians that run along the arm, none requires more attention than the others. So we designed the bracelet in a way that distributes the gemstones’ energies more evenly. As the gems work together to organize moisture in the body—especially around energy flows and meridians—each one receives equal attention and support.
