+Spondylus Shell or Mullu is a genus of bivalve mollusks, the only genus in the family Spondylidae. They are found off the coast of Ecuador, and have been important to Andean peoples since pre-Columbian times, serving as offerings to the Pachamama as well as some kind of currency. In fact much like in Europe the Spondylus shells also reached far and wide as pre-Hispanic Ecuadorian peoples traded them with peoples as far north as present-day Mexico and as far south as the central Andes. The Moche people of ancient Peru worshipped animals and the sea and often depicted Spondylus shells in their art.
+Turquoise is for healing, protection, balance, strength, energy, wisdom, serenity, and friendship. One of the most versatile of the power stones, which is why Native Americans honor it.
