Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is considered rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gemstone and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue. The robin’s egg blue or sky blue color of the Persian Turquoise mined near the modern city of Neyshabur has been used as a guiding reference for evaluating turquoise quality. The gemstone has been known by many names. Pliny the Elder referred to the mineral as callais (from Ancient Greek κάλαϊς) and the Aztecs knew it as chalchihuitl. The word turquoise dates to the 17th century and is derived from the French turquois meaning "Turkish" because the mineral was first brought to Europe through Turkey. One Size
