A necklace with Turquoise pendant on an 18KT gold chain for a timeless and elegant look. Turquoise was one of the first gemstones ever mined. The name turquoise comes from the same French word, Turquoise, meaning Turkish, since it originally arrived in Europe through Turkey, originating in Iran. This precious gemstone has been used for thousands of years for jewelry by the Ancient Egyptians, who buried fine pieces with mummies. Aztecs fashioned elaborate turquoise masks. The stone has been long prized for its intense color, which varies from sky blue to a paler sky blue, to greenish blue, or pale green, depending on the quantities of iron and copper within it.
