After having this gem, Alexander could never win any battle.
5. Turquoise – It is said that there was an American chief whose skin's color resembled the color of a turquoise. One day, he was running in a desert to escape from his enemies.

Grand jewellery shows and exhibitions can’t happen without gemstone jewellery.
2. Used gemstones can be worn for astrological benefits – This myth is a result of inadequate knowledge of gemstones and unfortunately, there are many gemstone sellers who give such foolish suggestions to people. But in reality, if you are wearing a gemstone for astrological reasons, you will get no benefits from it because with time, a used stone starts losing its healing properties.
3. Gemstones are for only rich people – Usually, it is believed, that gemstone are quite expensive and a common man can’t afford to buy a gemstone.
