This stone was first purchased rough from a stone collector in Antique who said this turqouise is a powerful stone and seldom could be found in the rivers where he would search more of his collections. So to preserve its beauty, I decided to cut and polished it and ended up with such nice cabochon.. It seems to me though that the stone is worth more than its natural beauty, I thought of setting it into a pendant with pure silver. The outcome is what you see now.
The stone is greenish blue with luster slightly lesser than an agate when polished. Elegant necklace for a beautiful you!
Turquoise is perhaps the oldest stone in man’s
history, the talisman of kings, shamans, and warriors. It is a stone of
protection, strong and opaque, yet soothing to the touch, healing to the eye,
as if carved from an azure heaven and slipped to earth. Its unique shade of
blue, often blue-green, lends it name, Turquoise, to all things of this
tranquil hue. The delicate veining or mottled webbing in cream or brown is
inherent to the stone and serves to enhance its character.
Tibetan Turquoise, or Chinese Turquoise, is green and carries a slightly
different vibration than the more vivid blue. As jewelry it is worn by
men and women alike, and considered a promise of fidelity and protectiveness to
a lover or partner.
