Composition: Turquoise is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum. Its chemical formula is CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. The presence of copper gives turquoise its characteristic blue color, while the presence of iron can add greenish hues.
-
Color: The color of turquoise ranges from sky blue to green, with the most valued being a medium robin's egg blue or sky blue. The blue color is due to copper, and the greenish tint can be attributed to iron or the presence of zinc. The matrix, or the pattern of veins in the stone, often adds to its unique appearance.
-
Origin: Turquoise is found in several parts of the world, including Iran (Persia), the United States (particularly the Southwest), Egypt, Mexico, China, and Tibet. Persian turquoise is highly prized for its pure sky blue color with minimal veining, while Southwestern U.S. turquoise is known for its distinctive matrix patterns.
