Stone Lore:

Turquoise has been a sacred stone in many cultures. The Native Americans believed it helped connect the mind to the Universe, and used it in rainmaking ceremonies, and to protect the wearer from danger. Every shaman used a turquoise stone. The ancient pharaohs used it as ornamentation and to protect their status and wealth. It is said to help release negative behaviors, such as self-sabotage, to foster clear, heartfelt communication, and in general to attract healing and good luck.

Picasso Jasper is one of many types of jasper and is known for offering protection, grounding and calming energies, and therefore helpful for anxiety and stress. It is said to support dieting, creativity, and self-discipline.

Onyx is said to promote personal strength and stamina, alleviate fears and worries, and to promote the health of bones, teeth, and blood.
