Turquoise necklace with real nuggets

A turquoise necklace with genuine nuggets. The individual stones are set on the necklace with their natural roundish-irregular growth geometry, without being cut or polished.

Turquoise (CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O) is a hydrated copper-aluminum phosphate with a characteristic light blue color. The nugget form preserves the original raw appearance.

Genuine turquoise nuggets from classic deposits in China, Iran, Egypt, or Arizona are a natural option in the jewelry market. They stand in contrast to polished cabochon stones.

Turquoise, with a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6, is medium-hard and sensitive to moisture. Cleaning should be done dry with a soft cloth.
