Turquoise has been one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world since ancient times – its name is derived from the characteristic color created by copper inclusions. In addition to classic turquoise blue, there are also apple-green varieties. Turquoise is a rather soft mineral and is frequently stabilized. The organically rounded tumble beads (4–6 mm) vary slightly in shape and size – each one is unique – and display the natural color diversity of turquoise particularly authentically.
