Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral valued as a gemstone for millennia. Turquoise is renowned for its robin's egg blue to greenish-blue hues and often has brown or black, spiderweb-like matrix veins from its host rock. Turquoise’s matrix comes from remnants of the rock from where the Turquoise was mined. The matrix and color variation in Turquoise are unique to each piece which is why turquoise is the perfect stone for one-of-a-kind turquoise jewelry.

Turquoise is sacred to Native American tribes in the southwestern US and is a ceremonial gem and a medium of exchange. They use it extensively in their jewelry.
