Bu değerli taş mavi ve yeşilin çeşitli tonlarında gelir. Turkuaz Mısır'da çok eski zamanlardan beri bilinmektedir ve daha sonra Yaşlı Pliny tarafından callias adı altında tanımlanmıştır. Ona ve eserlerini inceleyenlere göre, mavimsi yeşil taşa yalnızca diğer yeşil veya mavi taşlarla paylaşılan erdemler atfedilmiştir. Ancak 13. yüzyılda Batı Avrupa'da turkuaz terimi kullanılmaya başlandı ve değerli taş yeni güçlerle ilişkilendirilmeye başlandı. Bunlar arasında özellikle at sırtında düşme sonucu yaralanmaları önleme ve atları hastalıktan koruma gücü de vardı. Bu nedenle Türklerin atlarının dizginlerine ve üzengilerine turkuaz taşlar taktıkları söylenir. \nTurkuaz, çoğunlukla İran menşeli olduğu için geleneksel olarak Türkiye'de satılmıştır. Avrupa'ya giderken hala Türkiye'den geçmektedir. Eski Persler bu değerli taşın güzelliğini ve gücünü tam olarak takdir etmiş ve bu büyük imparatorluğun ulusal taşı olmuştur. Yeni ayın yansımasını bir arkadaşın yüzünde, Kuran'ın bir kopyasında ya da bir turkuazda görerek iyi şans elde edilebileceğine dair bir söz vardır.
