Turquoise Gemstones

Turquoise is a great gemstone to work with, to have that color come from the earth, amazing.  Even though as one of many gemstones that is enhanced, stabilizing can be a good thing.  Making it a more durable gemstone is want you would want. 

However, you have to watch for imitations.  Many times you see "turquoise" beads as a dyed howlite or magnesite.  These are real gemstones, but when buying beads or jewelry, you would want to know what you are truly buying.  I actually like magnesite, the white with brown streaks through it, can make a lovely necklace, as with howlite.

Speaking from experience, I had to ask questions, look at photo's to compare gemstones, look online for information and find reliable sources, who sold genuine turquoise.
