Turquoise is an opaque, semiprecious stone in various shades of green and blue. This gem stone occurs in rock deposits and its name means Turkish stone. Small quantities of iron give it a greenish tint, and the presence of a small amount of copper gives the stone its blue color seeming to reflect the sky. Turquoise has been praised as a favorite gem for thousands of years. It is possibly the most widely used of all gem minerals. This pendant also contains a cubic zircon the colorless variety of which is often used as a diamond substitute.
Turquoise is considered both a traditional and modern December birthstone.
The lovely stones in this pendant are beautifully wrapped with 14 carat gold-fill wire.
This piece of fine jewelry is only $65.95 and shipping is free.
