High grade
Turquoise & Variscite
The vast majority of turquoise and variscite on the market has been treated or stabilized. Turquoise is also commonly dyed or imitated.
Natural material and rarity
More than color.
High-grade turquoise and variscite are valued for their natural color, distinctive pattern, density, stability and ability to take a fine polish. Knowing the type, region, locality and specific mine when possible adds another layer of value by establishing what the material is and where it came from.
Together, quality and provenance distinguish these gemstones from treated material, commercial composites and look-alikes such as dyed howlite. Their value comes not only from rarity, but from the natural beauty and individual character each stone reveals.
