Yak Bone Bracelet with Turquoise-Color Beads
Turquoise is an opaque blue-to-green mineral used in beads, inlay and carvings. Its characteristic color and possible host-rock patterning give it a different presence from transparent gemstones. Some pieces are fairly even in color; others show matrix lines or patches. Porosity and hardness vary, which is one reason stabilization and other treatments are common in the market.
Choosing your piece
Look for disclosure of stabilization, dyeing, reconstitution or imitation material. Matrix patterns and a trade name cannot prove geographic origin. Check the details of the specific piece before treating it as rare material.
Care notes
Keep away from perfume, oils, cosmetics, soaking and harsh cleaners. Avoid heat and ultrasonic equipment. A soft, barely damp cloth followed by careful drying is the cautious approach.
Collection names follow our product descriptions. Composition, dimensions, treatments and any supporting documentation remain specific to each listing.
