Pure Turquoise Necklace - 12mm Beads - 20 Inches Long

Turquoise was one of the first gemstones ever to be mined and is famed for its intense colour, which ranges from green to sky blue. The colour variations are due to the amounts of copper or iron present. Some turquoise is found with veining present and this sometimes adds value to the gemstone if the veining is particularly good. As turquoise is a soft, fragile and porous gemstone, it is often treated with wax or resin to improve its stability. Turquoise is porous, so contact with liquid. oils or even perspiration should be avoided.

Turquoise is the birthstone for Sagittarius Nov. 22nd. - Dec. 21st. 

I have made this necklace to a length of 20 inches and added a Sterling Silver Lobster Clasp plus a 2 inch Sterling Silver extension chain so it can be worn up to 22 inches long.
