Persian turquoise
For at least 2,000 years, the region once known as Persia has been one of the world’s most important sources of turquoise. Its sky-blue stone has long been prized for its colour, which ranges from blue to green and blue-green depending on where it is mined.
About the Faravahar
The Farvahar (Persian: فروهر), also known as the foruhar or faravahar, is one of the best known symbols of Zoroastrianism and a lasting emblem of Persian identity. It stands for good thoughts (pendār-e nik), good words (goftār-e nik) and good deeds (kerdār-e nik).
