Natural turquoise has been mined in many places throughout the world. Clear blue Persian turquoise is thought by many to be among the finest turquoise. Mines in India produce green turquoise. Chinese mines are currently selling a great deal of turquoise in varying colors to the jewelry industry. 80% of North America’s turquoise comes from China.

Turquoise forms when water percolates through rocks that contain copper, aluminum and other minerals. A chemical reaction takes place that results in deposits of what we know as turquoise. That's a simplified way of describing a process that takes millions of years and only happens when a complex set of conditions come together.

An epoxy resin or other substance is infused into the pores of the turquoise. No longer porous, its color remains the same over time. Natural turquoise may have been cut and polished, but no artificial changes have been made to the gems. Natural turquoise develops a lovely patina as it’s worn and absorbs oils from our skin.
