Turquoise was mined before 4000 BC from the Sinai Peninsula in one of the world's first important hard-rock mining operations. It was worn by Egyptian Pharaohs and, as a sacred stone to many American Indian tribes, was used to adorn their ceremonial dress.
 
Turquoise was said to attract healing spirits, making it a premier healing stone. It was believed to guard against all diseases, assist in tissue regeneration, subtle body alignment and strengthening.
 
Turquoise was thought to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing color. In the 13th century, it was believed that turquoise was a valuable amulet for travelers, protecting the wearer from falling, especially from horses. Thought to be a protective stone, it was worn to guard against violence and accidents. Turquoise was also believed to promote the wearer's status and wealth and bring happiness and good fortune.
 
Jasper was known as the great "rain-bringer" in the fourth century.
 
Healing properties attributed to jasper included a belief that wearing it strengthened the stomach and cured gynecological problems.
 
Jasper was believed to drive away evil spirits and protect against snake and spider bites. Leopard skin Jasper was said to bring one what they need, Poppy Jasper to bring joy into life, and Opalite Jasper to help one sleep.

       This 22 inch "matinee" length necklace of 8mm genuine ornamental leopard skin jasper gemstone beads has accents of 8 mm sky blue Chinese turquoise with 14K gold filled accent beads of 4 mm. It fastens with a secure 14K gold filled lobster clasp.
 
       The dark matrix in the turquoise and the striking leopard skin patterns of the jasper make this a stunning necklace. This handsome necklace is an original; it stands out. That it's been hand tied marks it "custom" made. Its longer length makes it flattering to your face and comfortable to wear. Each bead, individually selected for quality and beauty, has been strung and tied by hand on break-free poly cord. "Tribal" is so striking, it will lift your spirits just to look at it.
 
       It should be cared for this way: Turquoise's color and luster may deteriorate with exposure to sunlight, heat, or various weak acids. The polish on jasper may be washed away in water. To make sure coatings are not removed, avoid water and household chemicals. Protect from scratches and sharp blows. Clean your necklace with a soft dry cloth.
