The source recounts several traditional beliefs surrounding turquoise among Navajo, Apache, Zuni and Aztec peoples, where the stone was associated with the sky, protection, sacred use, good fortune and healing traditions.

In lithotherapy traditions, turquoise is associated with positivity, calm, friendship, social relationships, creativity, confidence and symbolic protection from negative influences.

The source also attributes numerous physical effects to turquoise involving circulation, immunity, headaches, migraines, anxiety, the kidneys, bladder, eating disorders, infections, viruses and bacteria. These therapeutic claims are not medically or scientifically established. Turquoise does not treat these or other medical conditions and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

The source further recommends not placing turquoise in contact with amethyst; this is an esoteric practice rather than a scientifically established incompatibility.

Cleansing and recharging: the source describes traditional practices using running water, sunlight, moonlight or a Flower of Life symbol. These practices concern spiritual use of the stone.
