OCCURRENCE
Today, most natural turquoise is mined in large copper mines as a byproduct of copper extraction.
The most famous stone deposits are located in the area:
- USA, Egypt, Iran, Argentina, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Australia, Tajikistan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Tanzania, Sinai Peninsula.
The sky-blue turquoise mined near the city of Nishapur (Iran) is considered the finest in the world. Since Persian turquoise is mined only by hand, it is much more expensive than gemstones originating from other countries. The production volume of Iranian turquoise (compared to the 70s. the years of the last century) decreased tenfold.
The main characteristics that allow mineralogists to distinguish turquoise are its age and color:
- Young stones painted in white or light blue tones. This variety is porous and looks like bone. It is used only rarely in jewelry, but it is highly sought after among collectors.
- Mature gemstones have a bright blue or turquoise color due to the predominance of copper and the virtual absence of iron in their chemical composition. This is the most expensive and most popular type of turquoise.
- Old nuggets most often painted in green, teal, brown, and gray tones. Their price on the jewelry market is low.
The color change is caused by the process of gradual displacement of copper oxide by ferric oxide. The result is that the mineral first turns green and then turns brown.
COLOR
For turquoise, the most sought-after color is turquoise blue and the rarest is green. Pure blue turquoise is a great rarity, as turquoise usually contains brown, dark gray, or black veins. The color depends on the amount of copper, chromium, vanadium, and iron. There are also rare specimens of blue-violet color that contain strontium impurities.

In the turquoise color palette - in addition to those mentioned above - the following colors exist:
Blue - The most valuable and rarest shade, popular among collectors and mascot enthusiasts.
Red - This color—due to the large amount of copper—is found either in very old stones or in artificially colored nuggets. The pink color indicates that this is an imitation, obtained as a result of tinting the inexpensive natural mineral howlite or light turquoise pebbles. It does not occur in nature.
Depending on the place of extraction, turquoise is divided into the following types:
Iranian - Sometimes called Persian - the hardest and most beautiful variety,
Arizona - It is a very expensive gemstone (over $500 per carat) that has a bright blue color,
Israeli - A rare variety characterized by green coloration,
Tibetan - characterized by an amazing variety of colors (including the extremely rare turquoise matrix, dotted with the finest veins of other rocks)
Kazakhstan - As the youngest, this variety, which is valued less than all the others, is characterized by softness and pale colors.So-called “African” turquoise is nothing more than jasper painted a delicate turquoise color. Because it is an imitation gemstone, it has nothing to do with Africa.
HISTORY AND TRADITION
It is a very rare and valuable mineral that has been used as a gemstone and decorative stone for thousands of years. It owes its popularity to its extraordinary color, which is caused by an admixture of copper. Turquoise stones, adored for centuries, were carved and set into everything from royal thrones and daggers to jewelry and goblets.
- The Aztecs inlaid turquoise together with gold, quartz, malachite, jadeite, coral, and shells into probably ceremonial mosaic objects such as masks (some with a human skull as the base), knives, and shields. Natural resin, asphalt, and wax were used to attach turquoise to the base material, which was usually wood, but they also used bone or shell.
- In Persia, turquoise was the national stone for millennia. It was mainly used for decorating objects (e.g.: into the bridles from turbans), mosques, and other important buildings inside and outside. The Persian style and the use of turquoise were later brought to India. Its influence can be seen in gold jewelry (together with rubies and diamonds) and in buildings such as the Taj Mahal. Persian turquoise often bore engravings with pious words in Arabic, which were then inlaid with gold.
- It was also highly valued by the ancient Mongols and Tibetans.
- In Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), beads dating to around 5000 BC have been found. Turquoise was one of the first gemstones to be mined in Sinai during ancient Egyptian times. The Egyptians believed that the meaning of the turquoise crystal brings good luck and makes them invulnerable.They carved stone into symbolic jewelry and sculptures, such as their breast scarabs.Egyptian use of turquoise dates back deep into the past of the earliest civilizations, if not earlier. Probably the most well-known pieces of turquoise are those that were discovered in Tutankhamun's tomb. It also adorns rings and necklaces, all together with gold. The gemstone was processed into beads, which were used as filler. It was often carved into the motif of a scarab, accompanied by carnelian, lapis lazuli, and colored glass. Turquoise was associated with the goddess Hathor. It was so popular among the ancient Egyptians that it became the first gemstone they imitated with glazed ceramics.When Queen Zar's tomb was discovered in 1900, a turquoise gold bracelet was found on her wrist.
- Before the First World War, turquoise was Iran's main export commodity, where nearly 100 deposits of this stone are located.
The use of turquoise dates back as far as 5500 BC. n. l., when it was believed to prevent accidents and cure diseases of the head and heart. One legend claims that throwing a piece of turquoise into a river will bring rain.
