Description
Blue Green Tibetan Stabilized Turquoise Heishi Bead Strands. Mined in the Himalayas, Tibetan Turquoise is characterized by its wide color variation, including shades of green and yellow.
Stabilized turquoise is a process of hardening soft turquoise stones so they can be cut and polished for use in jewelry. The owners of the largest Kingman mine first developed a process where epoxy is forced at high pressure into the porous stone to harden it into jewelry-grade. This helps make it stronger and able to take a better cut and shine.
