Turquoise
is a copper oxide, often occurring in or near copper deposits.
The color depends upon the amounts of copper and iron, which will
determine whether it is a more blue or green colour. Many of the
turquoises specimens listed below come from locations here in
the United States, making them rare, as many mines throughout
the US have been closed down for quite some time. Please see individual
item descriptions for origin and characteristics.
Also,

turquoise, cabochons
ready to set, beads ready
to string and finished turquoise
