Turquoise stone. This pendant measures 1 1/2" from the top of the bail to the

Copper and Aluminum Sulfates. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and
has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years. It
has been devalued by the introduction of imitations and synthetics that
are often hard to detect even by experts. Turquoise is most frequently
used in jewelry manufacturing and is often combined with other minerals
and gemstones to enhance its beauty. It was a favorite among Egyptians
and Native American cultures.

Although Quartz is known by a variety of names, the most important
distinction between types of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline,
individual crystals visible to the unaided eye, and micro-crystalline,
where aggregates of crystals are only visible under high magnification.
There are many forms of Quartz including Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine,
and Carnelian which are results of mineral impurities or heat treatments. |
