A recent study revealed that approximately 90 percent of the
turquoise gemstones available in the market are actually dyed Howlite. The physical appearances of both are exactly similar, which means that customers who are in the market to buy
turquoise diamond rings may find it difficult to ensure they are getting a real
turquoise ring with
diamonds. This is why
diamond cutters advise customers to thoroughly check the
diamond certification documents of their preferred
ring before making a purchase.
Turquoise gemstones were originally discovered approximately 3,000 years ago. Ancient Egyptians and Persians who were very fond of
turquoise gemstones used to believe that the distinct blue
color of the
stone represented the heavens.
Turquoise gemstones are still embedded into the entrance of several places of worship in Iran even today. The native American Indians also loved
turquoise gemstones and they even believed that throwing the
stone into a river will make it rain.
The Persian
turquoise with a robin egg blue
color is considered the finest variety of
turquoise due to its
unique and captivating
color. Due to this, the Persian
turquoise was sought after by Emperors, Kings, and Queens. This, in turn, made Persian
turquoise very expensive.
