About Turquoise

Join our mailing list

Turquoise is found in only a few places on earth: dry and barren regions where acidic, copper-rich groundwater seeps downward and reacts with minerals that contain phosphorus and aluminum. The result of this sedimentary process is a porous, semitranslucent to an opaque compound of hydrated copper and aluminum phosphate.
