Thank you. Block currently dominates the treated market because it is less expensive to produce, has multiple uses, and many like it. The problem comes when sellers are not honest in disclosing that it is synthetic turquoise.
Tibetan Coral , is fossilised coral , amazingly found in the highest mountains of planet earth , that was once under the ocean . Just Imagen the time it took for the bottom of the ocean to reach the highest mountains on the planet . Tibetan red coral , is gem like , just like fossilised wood , it can be polished , and maintains its shine . Very rare , very special . 🙏
depends, matter of moments for The Creator. When God is doing His work, mountains are leveled and raised in a heartbeat. Valleys and canyons are gouged out in an instant. Insurmountable floods, in an instant. We see what quick work a volcano exploding makes of it's surroundings. Not everyone ascribes to the theory of evolution Not trying to be contentious but it is a fact. It is cool though and beautiful, I do agree with you on that. But even more so in my honest opinion, that if it God, (The Creator, Jesus Christ) makes such wonders and awe inspiring beauty by His mighty hand ;)
Thank you. The Tibetan turquoise I have, I’ve always thought it looked so similar to Hubei. I have one piece that looks and feels nothing like Hubei and wonder if maybe, just maybe, it came from Tibet. 🤔😁 Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Stay Crystal 💫 Mari
if you want to see what Tibetan Turquoise looks like, go to the Nepalese booth at any gem show. it doesn't look like any of the Turquoise represented to you as Tibetan.
Turquoise, coral stone, bronze with patina. These 3 things in a combination represents unpredictability and chaos. Don’t easily put them together to make a jewelry or the wearer will either benefit from the unpredictability or doom in chaos. So it’s either 100 or 0, no between. If you want to make a jewelry with turquoise and coral stone together, use copper, brass, or silver as base.. unless you specifically want the aforementioned effect, then use bronze and let it tarnish.
I’m fascinated whenever I go on Pinterest and find these images of Tibetans decked in gigantic chunks of turquoise. Pounds and pounds of rough nuggets of middle quality everywhere jewelry can fit. It’s kinda funny but also amazing
I asked a seller of Tibetan Turquoise on eBay what the marking on the back that I kept on seeing was? It looked as though the cab had started as a bead and broke by drilling. It looked like it began to be drilled and then split in two. Being then saved as a oval cabochon dome and on the flat backside a fairly deep gouge mark 1/4 to 1/2 of the way down. They said to me it was a marking that is used to help identify Tibetan Turquoise. How true that is I do not know...?
Magnasite is colorless turquoise & wirhout silica content to hold it in , or get high pollish shine..dyed howlite is really bad at least magnasite is " underdeveloped" turquoise & more deceptive when dyed EB
Royston is known for the green which comes from an additional iron ion in the formula. Much Tibetan and Chinese has a green look which the Chinese call lu songshi.
"yu" is still the pronouciation of Jade in Mandarin Chinese. And Turquoise's Chinese name is basically Gree Pine Stone, so for Chinese it's a stone, while Jade (yu) is not a stone. anyways, no one shall buy Turquoise from China anyways as the fake is 99%. And last time when I was in Lhasa back in 2008, mostly if you know nothing about Turquoise, you will end up buying fake ones. as always, communist China spare only fake things & virus. Period.
