Turquoise is another gemstone that has been around for thousands of years. It was seen as a bringer of good fortune, or a talisman. Despite its name it is not always turquoise in colour and can range from sky blue to grey-green hues. The best quality stones are a pure radiant sky blue, and turquoise is found in many countries including Australia, the United States, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Tibet and Iran.
