Turquoise was used by the ancient Persians. The word turquoise was derived around the 16th century from the French language either from the French word for Turkish(Turquois) or dark-blue stone (pierre turquin).[4] This may have arisen from a misconception. Turquoise does not occur in Turkey but was traded at Turkish bazaars to Venetian merchants who brought it to Europe. See wikipedia
