Firoza Stone (Turquoise) gained an unprecedented popularity because of the Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who wears a 50-carat Turquoise in a silver bracelet on his wrist. Though Salman Khan’s fans wear a Turquoise gemstone as a fashion statement, Turquoise is known to have high astrological benefits too. It is a lucky stone for the planet ‘Jupiter‘ and is one of the substitutes for ‘Yellow Sapphire’.

The color of Turquoise may vary from bluish-white to sky blue and from greenish-blue to lemon green. It is not a very hard gemstone and is often quite brittle. Therefore, one is required to be careful while handling his/her turquoise jewelry. Apart from its serene color and unmatched charm, it provides the wearer with a lot of astrological benefits as well.
