This impressive Tibetan turquoise oval cabochon features a bold blue-green color heavily contrasted by a dramatic, dense black matrix that spreads across most of the stone's surface in sweeping organic patterns. The striking interplay of vivid turquoise and dark black matrix gives this cabochon a powerful, expressive character that is deeply authentic to Tibetan highland material. The reverse of the stone shows the natural backing, confirming its genuine character. An individual and visually dramatic piece.
Tibetan turquoise carries centuries of cultural significance across Himalayan societies, where it has long been worn as jewelry and ornament. This stone is stabilized, the accepted standard treatment for turquoise that consolidates the material without altering its color or matrix appearance. At 32.1x15.5mm and nearly 25ct, this bold oval cabochon is ideal for statement pendant settings, artisan silversmithing, and collector or display use.

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.
