Turquoise Gemmology Facts: 

Turquoise is a Phosphate Mineral that can only be found in limited places across the world. These stunning Gemstones form in dry and unfertile regions where acidic, copper-rich water seeps down into the ground and reacts with Minerals containing aluminium and phosphorus. This sedimentary process results in porous, semi-translucent to an opaque compound of aluminium phosphate and hydrated cooper. Its bright blue colour comes from copper, whilst the deep green shades come from chrome and iron.

Sleeping Beauty Turquoise comes from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Arizona, USA. This Mine has been a major producer of Turquoise since the early 1970s. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is popular among artisan and Jewellery companies due to its lack of matrix and consistent even colour. Turquoise mining operations, on the other hand, ceased in 2012. The Mine is still active for the mining of Cooper. Each year the supply of Sleeping Beauty Turquoise as the availability of Rough becoming more and more depilated.

Turquoise is quite possibly the oldest Stone in man’s history, the talisman of kings, shamans and warriors. It has been loved throughout ancient history by indigenous cultures, royalty and more modern free-loving hippies. It’s hard to find a time in history when Turquoise hasn’t been adorned, from Royal Jewels to boho fingers!

Wearing this Stone signifies your commitment to walking gently in this world – which given the current climate and environmental issues, is such a beautiful reason to don this nature-loving Gemstone.

To us, this classic adornment represents the Earth Consciousness in Native American beliefs, whereas the blue and green in Turquoise represents the sky and the earth.

Turquoise is a wonderful daily companion, especially for those who simply want to walk through life feeling cleansed and pure, with a free flow of communication. This is a Crystal that sends ebb and flow energy to keep you from feeling stagnant.

It gives you strength, vitality, and vibrations that never stop sending good vibes directly to your soul. It focuses our energy on both the spiritual and physical aspects of life.
