Astral Health

 
There might be a good scientific reason why the American Indians and the Persians thought the turquoise had healing abilities. First of all it has a high copper content and is a natural conductor of energy. A turquoise stone that has a lot of veins in it might be of some assistance when it comes to healing rheumatism or arthritis (in the same way a copper bracelet provides relief.) 

 
On top of this, people in both the old and new worlds have credited turquoise with healing lung infections, throat infections, asthma toothaches, TMJ, high blood pressure, headaches, deafness and depression.

 
Metaphysically the stone is credited with strengthening one’s aura and connecting the subconscious to the higher self. It also protects you from the energies of toxic individuals.

 
The blue of the stone represents both sky and water which represent God and the subconscious. My suggestion would be to buy a brightly colored stone with a lot of veins in it
