There are very few minerals on Earth that are colored blue, particularly the robin’s egg blue that is synonymous with turquoise, which is one of the reasons why this ornamental stone has attracted so many admirers. One of the oldest stones in the history of man, turquoise has had a reputation as an especially powerful talismanic gem, favored by warriors, kings and spiritual leaders.
Today, the very best turquoise is more valuable than diamonds, attracting legions of passionate collectors who love to geek out over different origins, colors and matrix variations. With the closure of mines in the U.S. and the world’s remaining turquoise hard to find and increasingly rare, much of the best turquoise is already owned by collectors, which has only served to increase its desirability.
We’ve captured generous cabochons of turquoise featuring an array of green and blue shades with exquisite veining and marbleized patterns. We upped the elegance by pairing the rare blue beauty with sparkling white topaz and a sterling silver setting. Each stone is unique in exhibiting its own unique color and matrix.
