Turquoise is a valuable mineral, but it is not considered a Gem Stone. Turquoise history includes beautiful sterling silver creations by Native Americans. The name Turquoise comes from a french word which means stone of Turkey. Turquoise that was mined in Iran would travel through Turkey on its way to Europe. Turquoise color varies from greenish blue to sky blue shades. Unfortunately Turquoise is much softer than most stones used in rings. It has a hardness in the range of 5 to 6 whereas most colored stones have an average hardness of about 7.5. Therefore extra care is needed to prevent damage to Turquoise. The stone is brittle and is not facet cut. The pure baby blue color is said to be the most desirable and expensive. However the stones with veins of minerals running through the Turquoise are the most interesting. Turquoise has been found on a 7500 year old Egyptian mummy. Turquoise mining in the Americas started about 1000 years ago. Some believe that by wearing Turquoise better health and healing are possible. Turquoise legends claim that the stone acts as a unifying force between the spirits air and earth. Be it for it's magical powers or beauty Turquoise is a popular stone in Sterling Silver Rings. |
