In general we’re not a real fan of reconstituted turquoise because it doesn’t look real, however this reconstituted rock product looks amazing.
This man-made turquoise is usually made buy crushing real turquoise into a powder and combining it with resins and other chemicals. It is often dyed as well to give it a more pleasing and natural appearance.
Reconstituted turquoise should never be sold as real turquoise however it often is. Vendors sometimes defend this practice by saying the term “turquoise” refers to the color and not the composition of the material.
We are looking forward to making some beautiful low cost cabochons out of this stunning man-made turquoise.
One advantage of using this product in jewelry is that it resists staining from sweat and mild chemicals, helping it to keep its beautiful blue color.
