Turquoise, with its unique sky blue hue, is among the oldest known gemstones. Turquoise will vary with each lot, and will range from brighter sky blues to greenish teal greens with varied matrix inclusions, and variation within the strand. It graced the necks of Egyptian Pharaohs and adorned the ceremonial dress of early native Americans as well as Tibetans and has been attributed with healing powers, prosperity and spirituality.
