Three Varieties of Turquoise
There are many varieties of turquoise, and oddly enough, a solid blue stone is not the most valuable variety. This video briefly discusses three of the many varieties of turquoise which are often seen in jewelry stores. #short #shorts #turquoise

None of the above. Crystal turquoise is a translucent blue that’s much more attractive than any of the above.
Bisbi spider stone is the best and most expensive, I believe.
So, did you get Your info from a gem dealer? Because your TOTALLY wrong. Stick to Geology. Nearly everything youve said in every video about the market has been way off. Love Your usual content. Stick to that.
Great segment. But have you done one on natural turquoise?
All examples shown have been stabilized & platted on a base for jewelry mounting. Thx.

Do you have any info on the formation of honey calcite?
Almost a face reveal in the réflexion be careful
I like both – Btw: Ubinas erupted again: https://youtu.be/oAFPGXKwXxk:
I like the Pyrite inclusions best.
Turquoise with pyrite fashoo
The first is ~gorgeous~
Great information, but please use cream on your nail area.❤
Definitely the pyrite one
❤ turquoise. I’ve only seen the 1st but all 3 are gorgeous.
I like the sulphide inclusion stuff.
Are there any known specimens of turquoise with native gold? … there’s a locality in California known for nephrite with little gold inclusion flecks.
That infused pyrite is truly beautiful!
number 3 for me. I’m learning something new every video.
Once, I sold some gems from Zimbabwe on behalf of my sister, who lived there: wonderful emeralds (much better than Colombian ones), clear aquamarines, and a few high-quality turquoises. Thanks for this reminder!
They’re all lovely, but it would depend on what I wanted it for. The pattern for high contrast? The 2nd one. I’d put it in a copper or bronze clasp setting to wear as a bolo tie on a white shirt, making the turquoise the centerpiece of my attire. The color? The 1st one. I’d make it a brooch in a silver setting and wear it on a black blouse or sweater for the pop of its color. The unusualness and reflective polish? The 3rd one. I’d wear it as a brooch, pendant, or headband gemstone paired with a scifi or fantasy themed cosplay at a convention.
I like the first two. <3
How can i get the last one?
With what I get excited to find, I would be over the MOON to find any of it and they are all beautiful.
It’s literally just a CSGO skin.
“See, you’d expect it to be highest value at the best condition, but actually, super low floats are more rare and expensive.”
Pronounce prevalent as PREvalent, not preVALent.
And I like all turquoise.
That last one with fool’s gold is just out of this world amazing!
Highly polished, spiderweb, with iron pyrite
I spilt a tin of turquoise paint once on the carpet. So my opinion is somewhat coloured by that.

The pyrite one is badass. You’d probably want to seal it tho so it doesn’t corrode, wouldn’t you?
Any and all!!! Turquoise is beautiful in any form!!
With the pyrite.
I like all three, but whilst I knew about the first two, I’ve never seen or heard about the third, and I must admit, the metallic shine mixed with the greeny-blue turquoise is very pretty! I have two very small tumble polished pieces of turquoise in my collection which are slightly more green than blue. They were some of the first gemstones I collected, aged 9 ( I’m 54 now), along with a pair of golden brown Tiger’s Eye stones and a pair of Amethyst chips.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the pyritic matrix. It’s definitely my favorite.
The pyrite is my fav
Baby blue from Morenci mine where my great grandpa help build that mine!
the webbing one and the one with pyrite are my favourites.
The iron pyrite inclusions are stunning with the turquoise veins
Turquoise with iron pyrite? Suddenly I care about turquoise!
All
I like all three
I like the first. The blue is gorgeous
