Turquoise, an ancient and revered gemstone, is celebrated for its distinctive blue-green hues, ranging from sky blue to vibrant green. This opaque mineral, a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, often features intricate matrix patterns, adding to its unique character. With a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, it's relatively soft, requiring gentle care. Historically significant in many cultures, particularly in Native American traditions, Turquoise is valued for its beauty and perceived protective qualities.
