Turquoise is one of the most ancient gems on earth and it boasts some of the best vibes too. About 30 million years ago, turquoise started to form when rain water seeped through porous rocks, leaving behind bits of copper, phosphorus, and aluminum. These common minerals, when concentrated in the correct proportions, create those invigorating blue and green tones and textures for which turquoise is well known the world over.

The national gem of Tibet, turquoise is credited with many positive attributes, such as good health, good fortune, and good luck. It was introduced to Europe through the Silk Road around the 17th century and given the name turquoise based on the French word meaning "Turkish" since the stone came through Turkey. But turquoise originated in famous old Persian mines deeper in the Middle East where it adorned the tops of domed buildings and other religious structures. Persian turquoise is highly desirable given its smooth and uniform color and lack of black or brown veins—called the “matrix”—which most turquoise includes. 

Turquoise is one of those sumptuous, magical stones that evokes reverence for the earth in all her glorious power. This globe-like piece of turquoise is a stunning example of the rare form of turquoise that is smooth and consistent. It is featured in an incredibly bold Retro ring that has a funky pattern on each surface. Fine jewelry at its finest.
