Turquoise – Canvas Prints
Turquoise is the colour that shares its name with the blue-green stone found in special locations in Iran. Turquoises were among the absolutely first precious and semi-precious gemstones mined by humans. One of the first mines, dating from 3000 BCE, was in the “Land of Turquoise,” also called the Sinai Peninsula. Yet the most important place for mining this incredibly beautiful stone the past two thousand years has not been the Sinai Peninsula, but Iran, where amazingly enough one of the first turquoise mines is actually still active. Some cultures believed over the years that the gemstone held magical powers and shifted colour depending on the bearer’s health.
