Among the early- Mexicans turquoise was regarded as emblematic of suc- cess, and was worn to preserve health. The peculiar property of the turquoise, of becoming dirty green in color as it gives up its moisture, led to a belief that its change in color foretold mis- fortune, and hence the oriental prov- erb that the turquoise pales when the well being of the giver is in danger. It was believed in the orient to be a remedy for all diseases of the head and heart, and in cases of poisoning or snake bite it was given with wine.
