Chemically speaking, turquoise is a mineral that is formed by the union of copper and aluminum.

Variations of turquoise are classified based on their color quality. The crowd favorite is the sky blue turquoise, which resembles the natural blue of robin’s eggs. In some places, they call the color “Persian blue” as they associate it with the mineral mined in Middle East.

Right next to the dreamy sky blue are bluish-green turquoise gemstone variants. The greenish tints are caused by the inclusion of iron into the mixture of copper and aluminum. What usually happens is that the hint of green is spread equally throughout the available blue in the turquoise. In some cases, small amounts of zinc can also cause a departure from the natural blue hue of turquoise. The results are always stunning and beautiful, and add a lot of depth to the visual quality of the mineral.

Turquoise is a birthstone is also the stone of friendship, and those who wear it frequently will always have friends nearby.

What is Turquoise with a Matrix Network?

Turquoise Stone Matrix Pattern

The matrix network refers to the spider-webbing of the black or brown in the turquoise stone. The spider-webbing is caused by the host rock. While some people find the matrix network admirable or even attractive, jewelers tend to view turquoise with webbing as less desirable and valuable. Jewelers often try their best to cut away the turquoise from the host rock. However, in instances where the spider-webbing is too neat and evenly distributed, this becomes impossible and the jewelers just leave the turquoise minerals as they are. When a piece of turquoise has plenty of webbing, the term they use is “heavy matrix” and these are generally priced lower than turquoise with less obtrusive impurities.

It is believed that turquoise is also a life meter of sorts, and its color begins to fade when the owner of the gemstone is suffering from a health malady. Upon death, all color is said to be drained off turquoise stone, until it is given to another living owner. The color is restored, and the new owner can use the turquoise to view the state of his health, too. The color of the piece of turquoise will begin to deepen again, day by day until it attains its original appearance once again.
