Intuitive sources say that Smokey Quartz is one of the premier stones for clearing the aura of negative energies and providing psychic protection from negative energies in one's environment. It is also believed to help with grounding, or coming 'down to earth' after meditation. Turquoise is one of the oldest known gem materials, mined in the Sinai Peninsula before the 4th millennium BC in one of the world's first hard-rock mining operations. It was also mined by ancient Egyptians, Mayans, and Aztecs. Turquoise is often worn as jewelry, but is also used to create elaborate mosaics for decoration or religious purposes. In ancient Mexico, turquoise was reserved for the gods and was not worn by mere mortals. The word for turquoise comes from pierre turquoise, the French phrase for "Turkish stone," which probably originated in the fact that it was transported to Europe through Turkey or in the mistaken belief that it came from Turkey. Others believe that the name comes from the Persian word for turquoise, firouze, since Persia had been a major source of this gemstone for thousands of years. In either case, the blue of this gemstone is so vivid and distinct that the English language utilizes the name to indicate a particular shade of blue.
