We begin by exploring the allure of green turquoise, a stone that has fascinated people for centuries. The colour of green turquoise can vary significantly, influenced by the unique mineral compositions found in its mining sources. We discuss how certain mines produce turquoise with vibrant, vivid green hues while others may offer more muted or bluish-green tones. Understanding the origin and characteristics of green turquoise is essential when evaluating its quality and desirability. We highlight the distinctions between green turquoise and similar stones like #variscite and #chrysocolla, providing insights to help you differentiate and appreciate the true beauty of green turquoise.
Moving on to blue turquoise, we discuss why it is considered the most desirable and valuable variety. The stunning blue colour in turquoise is attributed to the presence of copper, often combined with other minerals like aluminium, zinc, and iron. We explore various types of blue turquoise, including Persian turquoise, known for its bright blue colour and high quality, and Sleeping Beauty turquoise, famous for its clean, uniform appearance and sky-blue hue.
We also cover #Bisbee turquoise, prized for its deep blue colour and distinctive spiderweb matrix, and #Lander Blue turquoise, highly coveted for its vivid blue colour and intricate spiderweb patterns. Additionally, we discuss #Kingman turquoise, which is predominantly associated with shades of blue but can also be found in green hues.
While blue turquoise is generally considered more valuable, we emphasise that the choice between blue and green ultimately comes down to personal taste. To make an informed purchase, we stress the importance of educating oneself about the origin and treatment of turquoise and buying from reputable sources. We caution against dyed or treated stones and guide in identifying natural and high-quality turquoise.
