African Turquoise is actually a type of speckled Jasper (a microcrystalline Quartz) that features beautiful blue, green, and teal hues, along with a matrix of black or brown veins, which gives it the appearance of traditional Turquoise. It is often called the "Stone of Evolution" due to its transformative properties. The distinctive webbing matrix resembles the patterning often found in genuine turquoise, which is why it earned its name, despite its true mineral composition.
African Turquoise is a powerful stone believed to encourage growth, transformation, and a clear path toward one's higher self and life purpose. With its grounding and inspiring energy, it helps you embrace necessary change with confidence and optimism, fostering a deeper connection to your spiritual wisdom. It offers a combination of stabilizing and invigorating benefits, helping to smooth out the transition during times of significant personal evolution.
