Turquoise, the Robin's Egg Blue Gemstone! Did you Know that the majority of the world's finest-quality turquoise comes from the United States, the largest producer of turquoise? Did you know that no English gentleman of the 17th century was regarded as well dressed or well adorned unless he wore jewelry of turquoise? Did you know that turquoise was so highly valued that all 79 of the emeralds in the crown that Napoleon I gave his consort Empress Marie Louise were replaced with Persian turquoise cabochons?
Turquoise, the robin's egg blue gemstone worn by Pharaohs and Aztec Kings, is probably one of the oldest gemstones known. Yet, only its prized blue color, a color so distinctive that its name is used to describe any color that resembles it, results in its being used as a gemstone.
The Beauty of Blue Turquoise: The true value of turquoise is in the beauty of the stone. Buy at the level you can afford and buy what speaks to you, what you find most attractive. There's no stone like turquoise, and rarely are two pieces alike. An interesting thing about turquoise is that its value will increase to the individual who wears it - it becomes a part of you.

Turquoise Popular Since Thousands of Years Ago! For thousands of years, the finest intense blue turquoise in the world was found in Persia, and the term "Persian Turquoise" became synonymous with the finest quality. This changed during the late 1800's and early 1900's when modern miners discovered or rediscovered significant deposits of high-quality turquoise in the western and southwestern United States.
