Turquoise Quality & Price

The robin’s egg blue (sky blue color) Persian Turquoise mined near the modern city of Neyshabur in Iran has been used as a guiding reference for evaluating Turquoise quality. The price of any stone depends on its origin, color, clarity and cut.

  • Origin -

    Turquoise is found in only a few places on earth. The major sources of Turquoise are Iran (Persia), Tibet, Mexico and Arizona. Persian Turquoise from Nishapur district of Iran is most sought after due to its bright blue hue, high clarity and matt to waxy luster. Stones from Tibet & China usually have spider web patterns on the surface and are primarily used in fashion jewelry.
  • Color -

    The color of Turquoise ranges from a powder blue to a sky blue to a bluish-green to a yellowish green. The most-prized Turquoise color is an even, intense, medium blue, sometimes referred to as robin’s egg blue or sky blue in the trade. The vivid blue coloured Turquoise from Arizona mines is also desirable in trade. Turquoise with a green to greenish blue color is less desirable but it depends on personal preference. There are some contemporary designers who actively seek avocado and lime green Turquoise.
  • Clarity -

    Turquoise is an opaque stone. Its clarity is judged by its surface texture and finish. The luster of turquoise is typically waxy to sub vitreous. In Turquoise, low porosity and fine texture are more valuable than high porosity and coarse texture. Natural turquoise can have a significantly visible matrix and patterns like spider web. Clean and spotless Turquoise is very precious and most suitable for astrological purposes. But some buyers prefer the presence of matrix in fashioned Turquoise if its effect is attractive and balanced.
  • Cut -

    Turquoise is often cut as Cabochon in various shapes as the smoothly rounded dome shape sets off turquoise’s color, texture, and any matrix beautifully.
