· Turquoise has cooling effects, figuratively
lowering a room's temperature.
· It's a fashion staple. Always in style,
turquoise has recently influenced interior designers with its opaque
quality and ability to create impact -- even in small doses.
· Turquoise has good karma. American Indians have
long praised the mineral for its spiritual and healing properties.
· It works year-round. Add a shot of hot pink, lemon,
or chartreuse, and the look is tropical-chic. In velvet or paired with
brown or ocher, it's dramatic.
