More about this category
Turquoise is a hydrated copper and aluminium phosphate, sky blue to blue-green, often marked with a brown or black matrix. It is porous and barely harder than glass.
- Colour: sky blue to blue-green, brown or black matrix.
- Family and hardness: copper and aluminium phosphate; Mohs hardness 5 to 6.
- Traditional symbolism: As a blue-green stone, it is traditionally associated with protection, travel and expression; it has been revered in many cultures for a very long time.
- Care: No prolonged contact with water, and none with perfume, cream or heavy perspiration; wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Store it in the shade.
Natural turquoise, which is very porous, is often stabilised (impregnated with resin); there are also reconstituted stones (bound powder) and imitations (dyed howlite or magnesite, glass, plastic). The name alone does not tell you which: the exact composition is stated on each product page.
