Turquoise gemstones
Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrousphosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formulaCuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue.
In many cultures of the Old and New Worlds, this gemstone has been esteemed for thousands of years as a holy stone, a bringer of good fortune or a talisman. The oldest evidence for this claim was found in ancient Egypt, where grave furnishings with turquoise inlay were discovered, dating from approximately 3000 BC. In the ancient Persian Empire, the sky-blue gemstones were earlier worn round the neck or wrist as protection against unnatural death. If they changed color, the wearer was thought to have reason to fear the approach of doom. Meanwhile, it has been discovered that turquoise can change color. The change can be caused by light, or by a chemical reaction brought about by cosmetics, dust or the acidity of the skin.

Desirable Turquoise Color by GIA
http://gia.edu/gem-encyclopedia
Desirable Turquoise Color by GIA. Excellent-quality turquoise gemstone is sought after by designers of unusual jewelry pieces, particularly necklaces. But it’s the vivid shades of turquoise that truly define this popular gem. By watching this video, you’ll learn about the color variations of blue and green turquoise, as well as which hues are most valuable among this gem. By and large, the most prized turquoise color is an even, intense, medium turquoise blue, often referred to as “Persian blue.” But some consumers prefer a greenish blue, and some contemporary designers actively seek avocado and lime-green colors for turquoise jewelry. Typically, judging whether a fashioned turquoise meets the ideal or departs from is based on three basic qualities—its col...

Typically, judging whether a fashioned turquoise meets the ideal or departs from is based on three basic qualities—its color, its texture, and the presence or absence of matrix. Matrix is a remnant of its surrounding rock. As an example, spiderweb turquoise contains fine seams of matrix that form attractive web-like patterns. So long as the colors look balanced, a turquoise gem with matrix can be very visually appealing.

Turquoise/ˈtɜːrkɔɪz/ or /ˈtɜːrkwɔɪz/ is the name of a greenish blue color, based on the gem of the same name. The word turquoise comes from the French for Turkish, as the gem was originally imported from Turkey. The first recorded use of turquoise as a color name in English was in 1573. It is, generally thought to consist of 70% blue and 30% green.

Turquoise gemstones
Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrousphosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formulaCuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue.
In many cultures of the Old and New Worlds, this gemstone has been esteemed for thousands of years as a holy stone, a bringer of good fortune or a talisman. The oldest evidence for this claim was found in ancient Egypt, where grave furnishings with turquoise inlay were discovered, dating from approximately 3000 BC. In the ancient Persian Empire, the sky-blue gemstones were earlier worn round the neck or wrist as protection against unnatural death. If they changed color, the wearer was thought to have reason to fear the approach of doom. Meanwhile, it has been discovered that turquoise can change color. The change can be caused by light, or by a chemical reaction brought about by cosmetics, dust or the acidity of the skin.
