Turquoise is called turquoise, which is a kind of jade with a unique blue color. Its English name is Turquoise, which means “Turquoise stone” or “Turquoise jade”. Turkey does not produce turquoise. According to the information, because the turquoise produced in ancient Persia was transported to Europe by Turkey, it was mistakenly thought to be produced in Turkey and got this name.
Turquoise is a traditional jade that has been loved by people in ancient and modern times at home and abroad, and is listed as one of the “Four Famous Jade” in my country. Turquoise is a jade variety especially loved by Muslims in the world and the people of the southwestern United States; in my country, the Tibetan and Mongolian people also prefer turquoise. Turquoise stone symbolizes success and victory in the world’s jewelry customs and is designated as the birthstone of December.
In different ages, turquoise has some aliases. In the Yuan Dynasty, turquoise was called “Dianzi” or “Bidianzi”. Since my country’s turquoise is mainly produced in the Jingxiang area of Hubei Province, it is also called “Jingzhou Stone” or “Xiangyang Dianzi”; while the turquoise produced in Persia is called “Huihuidianzi”.
So, what are the characteristics of turquoise?
Turquoise is a water-containing copper aluminum phosphate. It is mostly azure (sky blue), light blue, greenish blue, green or bluish pale. On blocks of uniform color, there are often unevenly distributed white stripes and spots, or black to brown black iron wires. These iron wires often form beautiful black patterns on turquoise, which are especially loved by some people. .
The crystals of turquoise are very small and the texture is very delicate. The high-quality products look like glazed porcelain after polishing, so they are called “porcelain turquoise.”
The hardness of turquoise varies greatly. The hardness of the hardest “porcelain turquoise” is 5, 3-6; the hardness of “hard turquoise” is 4.5-5.3; the hardness of weathered “foam turquoise” is below 4. The density of turquoise is 2.6~2.9g/cm3. Waxy light, soluble in acid.
