The name "Turquoise" is derived from "Pierre Tourques", meaning "Turkish Stone" in French. This pays homage to the gem's origin, as the turquoise was first introduced to Europe from Turkey in the 13th Century. In Thai, turquoise is called "Ploy-khai-nok-garawake", which means "Bird's Egg" in English. Turquoise is found in Iran , Tibet , Mexico , the USA , Chile , Australia , Turkistan , England , and China . Turquoise is the national gem of Tibet , and was believed to bring health and luck to its wearers, and to protect them from evil. In the American Southwest, Indian tribes used turquoise in religious rituals, ornaments and talismans. It was also used as currency. American Indians used the gem as one of the components when making an arrow or a weapon, believing that it would enhance accuracy. Cleopatra VII Philopator (January 69 B.C. - August 12, 30 B.C.) was queen of ancient Egypt , the last member of the Ptolemaic dynasty and hence the last Hellenistic ruler of Egypt . Although many other Egyptian Queens shared the name, she is usually known as simply Cleopatra , and all of her similarly named predecessors have been mostly forgotten. Cleopatra is Greek for "father's glory," and her full name, "Cleopatra Thea Philopator" means "the Goddess Cleopatra, the Beloved of Her Father." She was the third daughter of the king Ptolemy XII Auletes, with whom she was first made to rule. A Greek by language and culture, Cleopatra is reputed to have been the first member of her family in their 300-year reign in Egypt to have learned the Egyptian language. As co-ruler of Egypt with her father, then with her brother/husband Ptolemy XIII (51 B.C.), and still later with her son Caesarion, Cleopatra survived a coup engineered by her brother's courtiers, consummated a liaison with Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne, and, after Caesar's assassination, aligned with Mark Antony, with whom she produced twins. She later married Mark Antony and gave birth to another son. In all, Cleopatra had 4 sons, 3 by Antony and 1 by Caesar. Her union with her brother produced no children. After Antony 's rival and Caesar's legal heir, Octavian, brought the might of Rome against Egypt , Cleopatra took her own life on August 12, 30 B.C.
