Chinese Turquoise

Chinese Turquoise is a dyed variety of white turquoise, valued for its vivid blue to blue-green coloration and classic turquoise appearance. Originally pale or off-white in its natural state, the stone undergoes a dyeing process to enhance and achieve its rich, uniform color while retaining the fine veining and opaque texture characteristic of turquoise.

With a Mohs hardness of approximately 5 to 6, Chinese Turquoise is suitable for jewelry applications such as beads, cabochons, and decorative elements when handled with care. Sourced from China, this material offers an accessible and visually appealing alternative to natural blue turquoise, especially for consistent color matching in designs.

Often associated with protection, balance, and calming energy, dyed Chinese Turquoise is appreciated for its vibrant look and versatility, making it a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary jewelry creations.
