This large Tibetan turquoise oval cabochon displays a vivid teal to blue-green color with the distinctive dark brownish-black matrix veining that is the hallmark of authentic highland Tibetan material. The veins branch across the polished surface in a bold, organic network that gives each stone a one-of-a-kind character. The cabochon has a smooth, well-polished dome and a striking overall appearance at over 21ct.
Tibetan turquoise has a long history of use in Himalayan jewelry and ornament, where the strong matrix veining is as much a part of the appeal as the color. This stone is stabilized, a standard treatment for turquoise that hardens and preserves the natural material while keeping the color and matrix intact. At 31.4x17.7mm, this substantial oval cabochon is well suited for bold pendant settings, statement rings, and collector display.

About turquoise
Turquoise is a copper aluminum phosphate. It is porous, so skin oils, cosmetics and perfume can soak in and slowly change its color.
Cleaning
Wipe it with a soft cloth dampened in lukewarm water and dry it at once. Do not soak it or leave it in water. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: turquoise is porous and heat can change its color. Put on perfume, lotion and hairspray before you put it on, and wipe it after wear.
Wear and storage
Below 7 on the Mohs scale, it can be scratched even by household dust, which contains quartz. It suits pendants, earrings and brooches better than rings worn every day. Store it on its own in a soft pouch, away from harder stones.
For your jeweler
Turquoise should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. A bezel or another protective setting suits it best.
