Origin & Supply of Turkizite
Like Tanzanite, Turkizite is so rare that it comes to you from only one source in the world, a remote mountain area in Anatolia, Turkey. In the early 80’s the gemstone was mined for commercial purposes. It is incredibly rare and can only be found in one place on Earth. It is said that there are only 5 to 6 years of mining left for this stone. The higher cost of the gemstone is attributed to its rarity; it is not often found in the regular market or jewellery stores.

The intensity of colour changes depends on the size of the Turkizite. The larger the stone, the more intense the colour change. Smaller stones will exhibit a subtle colour change. Pleochroism is the evident change in colour which takes place as the gemstone is exposed to various wavelengths of light. A single gemstone could present multiple hues: soft kiwi green, lavender-blue, or champagne pink to rich dark red. The Turkizite is 100% natural beauty, no enhancements are needed.
Enjoy the chameleon-like colour changes throughout your day. From morning sunlight to evening candlelight, this gemstone will enchant you with its colour-changing hues. The highest quality specimens have excellent transparency. However, inclusions are very common. The top grades are transparent and clear.
