Turquoise<\/a> is an opaque, blue to blue-green phosphate mineral that has been valued as a gemstone for thousands of years. The colour results from the presence of copper, while iron sometimes causes a greener hue. Turquoise often occurs with dark matrix lines of surrounding rock, giving it a distinctive appearance. The stone was named after the Turkish trade routes through which it was introduced to Europe.<\/p>\n Major deposits of turquoise are Iran, the United States (especially Arizona and Nevada), China and Egypt. The mineral forms in dry, desert areas as a secondary mineral in the oxidation zones of copper deposits. Its chemical formula is CuAl\u2086(PO\u2084)\u2084(OH)\u2088-4H\u2082O. Turquoise has a hardness of 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.<\/p>\n Sources: <\/strong> \n These faceted, ball or beaded bracelets are strung on a sturdy, double elastic, making them suitable for different wrist sizes.
