Description
- Approximate beads per strand: 130
- What is it: Unlike American turquoise which is usually identified by the specific mine, Chinese turquoise has normally been referred to as Chinese turquoise, even though there are several different locations across China where the stone is mined. The gemstone is full of deep greens, dark blues and even yellows. The most prized color is dark blue with spider-webbing.
- History: Turquoise has been mined in China for over 2000 years, as it has been found in many pieces of art and carvings from some of the earliest dynasties.
- Metaphysical Properties: Chinese Turquoise is said to carry a slightly different vibration than American Turquoise. It is especially useful for clearing the Throat Chakra, and relieve suppressed self-expression.
- Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from bead to bead
