Additional Info
Because of recent shortages of Turquoise, soft, low-grade Turquoise is now being put through a process called stabilization that enhances its hardness and color. Purple Turquoise is a permanently dyed and stabilized crystal with gold and sometimes copper veining. It has recently become a favorite for jewelry makers and rock collectors. The stones carry the same metaphysical and physical healing benefits as Turquoise, with the added benefit of the color purple and either cold or copper that is present.
