Turquoise

Turquoise is a pretty, blue-green color that we can sometimes see around us. It's the color of the sky on a sunny day and the color of some gemstones.

Let's talk about those gemstones! Turquoise is actually a kind of rock that is found in the ground. When the rock is cut, polished, and shaped, it becomes a beautiful gemstone that people can wear as jewelry. Turquoise is often used in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

Turquoise has been loved by people for a very long time, even hundreds and hundreds of years ago! It was especially important to some Native American tribes, who believed that it had special powers. They thought that turquoise could protect them from bad things and bring good luck.

Today, we still love turquoise because it's a pretty color and it reminds us of nature - like the ocean, the sky, and the forests. So, next time you see the color turquoise, remember that it's a special rock that people have loved for a very long time!
