The word turquoise dates to the 17th century and is derived from the Old French turquois meaning “Turkish” because the mineral was first brought to Europe through the Ottoman Empire.

Iran has been an important source of turquoise for at least 2,000 years. It was initially named by Iranians “pērōzah” meaning “victory”. In Iranian architecture, the blue turquoise was used to cover the domes of palaces because its intense blue colour was also a symbol of heaven on earth.
