Turquoise - meaning, function and jewellery
What is Turquoise?
Turquoise is a striking gemstone with a distinctive blue-green colour reminiscent of clear water and Mediterranean seas. The hue ranges from bright turquoise blue to greenish blue and is often combined with natural veins or patterns.
The stone is created by a chemical process in which copper and aluminium react with water in rock. This occurs mainly in dry, desert areas.
Major deposits of turquoise include Iran, the United States, Mexico and China. Due to its unique colour and natural appearance, turquoise has been used in jewellery for centuries.
