   TURQUOISE: is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized for thousands of years because of its unique color. Historically, this gemstone has been known by many names, but the term "Turquoise" is thought to be a derivative of either the 16th century French word "turquois", meaning "Turkish" or "pierre turquin" meaning "dark blue stone". Turquoise is a relatively soft stone with colors ranging from white to powder blue and sky blue as well as various shades of green. Its color depends on its mineral properties --- blue being attributed to the copper content while green is the result of either iron or dehydration.

Reconstituted Turquoise is the term used to describe the process by which pulverized turquoise scrap from stone cuttings are mixed with dyes and resin binders to produce recycled material large enough to use in other applications. Compressed Nugget is a similar product made from larger pieces. However, it should be noted that most of the Turquoise  marketed as "reconstituted" is actually a man-made simulated "block" and may or may not contain any natural turquoise byproduct..

Turquoise is thought to attract prosperity and success, influence creativity, and enhance communication skills. The stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is said that Turquoise can help balance the throat chakra, bolster the immune system and give relief to sore throats, lung infections and allergies.
