Color and display note

Leadville turquoise is known for beautiful sky-blue to light green tones. I chose to preserve this stable piece as a specimen, though it may also be cut and polished for lapidary use. The photographs were selected to show its vivid blue to light turquoise-blue colors, natural matrix, contours, and reverse side as faithfully as possible.

Care

Turquoise should be protected from impact, prolonged moisture, heat, oils, cosmetics, acids, household chemicals, steam, and ultrasonic cleaning.
