With the advancement in technology and the high price of turquoise, manufacturers have found ingenious ways to fabricate it, and it is becoming more challenging to identify which one is the real deal. In addition, Turquoise comes in various colors, but do not fret. Once you read this blog, you will clearly understand the stone and be able to identify the authentic Turquoise from the man-made.  Turquoise comes in different colors and will never be pink; there is no such thing as pink turquoise.  I must write this sentence because I shop for stones and find vendors advertising “pink turquoise.”

Turquoise is highly harvested in the U.S., and vendors from all over the world looking for high-quality turquoise purchase it here, in the U.S., and later resell it from their hubs. It is not uncommon to purchase a piece of jewelry with turquoise, thinking that it comes from another country, but in reality, it was simply assembled elsewhere.  You might want to research further about one of the largest mines in the U.S., https://www.bisbeeminingandminerals.com/, and one of the most prominent collectors of U.S. turquoise pieces in the world https://www.skystone.jp/en/.
