Its attractive blue green provides a unique color to the mineral world. Peruvian Turquoise is an important ornamental mineral for jewelry and adorned the ceremonial dress of early native Inkas. It also brings good fortune and attracts healing spirits. Delicate veining, caused by impurities, is desired by some collectors as proof of a natural stone.
