Gem Turquoise is silicate naturally with Quartz and doesn't need any stabilization. This Gem Turquoise was mined and carved in the 1980's in China. These most likely were mined in the Hubei province. The Hubei province includes the Yunxian and Zhushan mines, known for their gem-quality turquoise material found in fractured, silicified limestone. These were carved by a master. I bought the carved beads from my strutted supplier, who I've shopped with for 15 years. I had never seen this carved Turquoise before in their booth. They said it was lost in their storage and they had recently found it in an old box. They offered a great deal on all 5 strands, as it was the very last available. I bought them all, and now they're available on my website.
