More about turquoise, courtesy of the American Gem Society –
Thanks to its historical and cultural significance in many Native American tribes, turquoise remains most popular throughout the southwestern U.S. This area supplies most of the world’s turquoise today.
Turquoise is one of few gemstones not judged by the 4Cs of diamond quality. Instead, the main factors that determine its value are color, matrix, hardness, and size.
The most prized turquoise gemstone color is a bright, even, sky blue. Greenish tones can lower the value of a stone, although some designers prefer it.
The porosity, texture, and hardness of turquoise vary greatly. Fine-colored turquoise that’s too soft or chalky will lose color—and value. Course, porous material is usually treated to make it stronger, smoother, and shinier.
