Turquoise - Tibetan Treasures Which Can Aviod Evil

Turquoise, Red Coral and Mila(Beeswax) are not original produced in Tibet, But almost every Tibetan wears three treasures. Because Tibetan believe they can help you aviod evil, and represent the special powers of faith, fortune, love and wisdom.

Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formula CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8ยท4H2O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue.
