Product Description
Large freeform natural shaped tumble polished Turquoise nugget cabochon 60 mm (1.8 inches!) long by 47 mm at its widest and 8 mm at its thickest.
The natural blue semiprecious stone material named Turquoise is a hydrated aluminum copper phosphate that often contains iron.
The name comes from the French word pierre turquois, which means Turkish stone, because the trade route that brought it to Europe used to come via Turkey.
This Turquoise is from the permanently closed Nacozari Mine in Sonora, Mexico.
Like most Turquoise on the market, these semi precious gemstone nugget cabochons are stabilized or treated before tumbling and polishing.
Metaphysical Properties: Turquoise is said to be beneficial to overall well-being and soundness of one's moods and emotions. Wearing Turquoise cabochons can lift your sagging spirits!
Turquoise is one of the birthstones for the month of December and the gemstone for both the 5th and 11th wedding anniversary.
