However, what is labeled as 'Chinese Turquoise' is most often dyed Magnesite or Howlite. 

Turquoise is a gemstone that facilitates the opening of all chakras. It promotes the experience of unity and the sense of oneness. It assists the absorption of nutrients, strengthens the immune system and stimulates tissue regeneration. It is a stone that has been used for healing in many traditions for ages. Turquoise further supports forgiveness, on many levels, forgiving and accepting yourself as well as others. It also facilitates the expression of our own inner truth and supports communication on many fronts. It brings trust in our own essence and helps us to communicate in alignment with this inner essence. Forgiveness, wholeness, healing and expansion are some of the key words for this gem.

'white turquoise'
