Dyed Turquoise Bead Bracelet 6mm

Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum. Its notable robin’s egg blue or sky-blue hue has captivated humanity for millennia, making it one of the oldest and most valued stones in history. The very name Turquoise has become synonymous with its iconic color.  Often found in arid, barren regions, Turquoise forms when water containing copper and aluminum seeps through rock, depositing the mineral in cracks and fissures. This process frequently results in a web-like pattern of dark lines or splotches, known as the matrix, which is part of the host rock. The unique matrix patterns make each piece of Turquoise distinctly beautiful, prized for its individual character. Its rich history and meaningful symbolism make the Turquoise crystal meaning a subject of deep fascination.
