Collection: TURQUOISE

Turquoise is an opaque blue-to-green mineral formed when copper-rich groundwater reacts with minerals in dry, arid regions, typically in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. It often develops in veins or nodules within rocks over long geological periods. Historically, turquoise has been highly valued for thousands of years in ancient Egypt, Persia, and among Native American cultures, where it was widely used in jewelry, inlay work, and decorative objects. It is often associated with protection, status, and cultural identity, especially in traditional craftsmanship and royal adornments.
