ABOUT TURQUOISE Turquoise is associated with the sky,
and bringing sky energy to earth. It is known as a master healer stone as it is
believed to help speed the healing process. It is also thought that turquoise
can help promote honest and clear communication from the heart. |
What is heishi? The word heishi means
shell, and in the past it referred to pieces of shell that have been drilled and
hand rolled or ground into bead shapes and strung as necklaces. With the reduced
availability of some shell materials, modern Native American artists also make
heishi beads from other natural materials such as turquoise and coral. Read
