What is TURQUOISE



Turquoise is an ancient gemstone.  It is highly regarded due to its unique turquoise-blue colour, and is the only gemstone to have an exclusive colour named after it.

The word turquoise dates to the 16th century and is derived from an Old French word for "Turkish", because the mineral was first brought to Europe from Turkey from the mines in historical Khorasan Province of Persia

Turquoise can come in different shades of blue or green, and is commonly veined or mottled with brown or black oxides or a sandstone base. The best colour in Turquoise is solid, deep turquoise-blue.
