Origin: Turquoise mines are present in Iran (Persia), Tibet, Mexico, Arizona, Egypt, Turkey and America etc. In the gemstone market, the Persian turquoise stone is regarded as highly sought-after due to its brilliant blue hue, high clarity and waxy to matt lustre. According to the experts, American turquoises coming from the popular Arizona turquoise mines and Kingman turquoise mine are also of fine quality.

Color: Firoza colour generally ranges from light sky blue to deep blue and bluish green etc. According to the traders, the vivid blue (generally found in Sleeping Beauty mine, Arizona) or the evenly saturated medium blue turquoise (traded as Persian blue) are considered most desirable shades. Some off-shade turquoise gemstones are also available in the market such as green turquoise, purple turquoise and white turquoise, etc.

Clarity: Natural turquoise stones are nearly opaque with significantly visible matrix and spots. Clean, spotless turquoise is rare to find and quite valuable. Such pieces are considered quite desirable from the astrological perspective.

Shape: Turquoise is a considerably durable gemstone (Turquoise hardness – 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale) and is therefore found in numerous shapes. Ideally, a well-polished Turquoise in symmetrical shape is considered most desirable.

Cut: Turquoise rough is often fashioned in smooth, well-polished cabochons (gems with one-sided dome) to enhance its natural beauty and overall value. Because of its fair availability, the oval turquoise gems are usually cheaper than the turquoise in a perfect pear or round shape.

Carat Weight: If the stone is of good quality, a 3 to 4 carat turquoise will suit a wearer of any age and body weight and provide good results. If the stone is of low to medium quality, a 5 to 7 turquoise is recommended. If one can afford it, a 5-10 carat good quality Cat’s Eye is best.
