 Chinese turquoise. This is a 6.25 lb collector's specimen of the earliest gem quality turquoise mined in China. Very hard;it has no treatment whatsoever AND is blue, not green. As you can see, it has incredible spiderwebbing with some red as well as black. It resembles the finest Arizona and Nevada turquoise which has become almost extinct. This Chinese is also very difficult to find untreated. It's a true investment quality gem. This piece has been sold. thank you |
