Turquoise

Turquoise was generally found in the more arid locations around Toril.

Description
This ornamental stone was an opaque blue to greenish-blue, and usually occurred with blotches of darker hues in the mix. A typical stone had a base value of 10 gp.

Powers
Elves valued the pure color stones (without the darker mottling) for casting sky-related magic and mages used turquoise in the creation of items related to flight. It was also used as a good luck charm by horsemen who would put a small shard of turquoise in their horse's harness to ward off misstep or trail hazards. Turquoise had a slight gleam when it came near gold and was therefore associated with prosperity.
