Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets, and it is revered for its physical healing properties, especially in alleviating respiratory issues, strengthening the immune system, and soothing inflammatory conditions.
In the context of the Wild West, turquoise is primarily associated with Native American cultures, particularly in the Southwest, where it was widely used in jewelry and considered a sacred stone symbolizing protection, good fortune, healing, and the connection between the sky and water, often representing both spiritual and physical well-being; essentially, wearing turquoise was seen as a way to ward off evil and bring positive energy.
