what is seen in person though it may seem to be a bit lighter green but not by much

Except for the vibrant robin egg blues you would find in fine Persian Turquoise; we would say that Tibet has outdone it this time. It is undoubtedly, one of the nicest ones that we have seen come from Tibet, and It is quite stunning in person. A truly unique handmade one-of-a-kind stone.

We have scoured the globe for over 35 years to bring the best gemstones to the customer. Handcrafting them from our location in beautiful Idaho, or from Panama. We do not cut corners and use completely raw materials to finished products. And then polish it up with some Tripoli and Rouge to give it that nice shine. Many Jeweler's and designers will glue cabs in the settings or add other things like sawdust even; which some refer to as Jeweler's Sawdust. Simply put it's quite common with vintage turquoise pieces and it's just normal sawdust. Some will also use things like old phonograph records or other materials to level it. And we won't ever do that. If we can't fit the stone in the setting right, then we will build one that it works for. Every stone is unique and that is what we focus on.

We respect the gemstones and if we can't make the setting fit, then we scrap it and start again. You can be sure this gemstone is not coming out without excessive force and does not wiggle or is loose in the setting. It may take more time for this, and a bit of precision perhaps; but we want the housing to fit the stone. Before setting it, we completely polish the inside. The customer may not ever see behind the stone into the setting but in respect for the stones, we don't set them in a dirty house. They are natural gemstones and like people; they are one-of-kind. We don't use other substances with them to get them to fit right. You can be sure of this. And then we stamp it with our stamp. Indicating that not only did our company make it; but also the purity of the metals used. And we hope you will enjoy it!

This stone closely resembles high-value Persian Turquoise. And it is undoubtedly, one of the nicest Tibean stones we have seen. It is quite stunning for the colors.

Care
This stone is Considered soft in comparison to many stones; therefore, we do not suggest you using tumblers for polishing nor do we suggest using other methods. Light Steam or otherwise may not hurt it. If you need to Polish it up we have included a polishing cloth. Otherwise use a mild dish detergent that does not contain bleaches or other dying agents. Blue Dawn is recommended; and a soft toothbrush with warm to hot water. And polish it up. If you must use Tarnish Removers, do not get it on the stone. It could create problems. Due to the softness of these stones, these stones are not suggested for everyday use. Generally stones rated 7 or below on Moh's Hardness are not a good idea for everyday use. Even so, keep it protected from scratching and when storing it.

It should be noted, we have tumble polished a similar stone that has been set, and there did not seem to be damage to it. Yet it was only a light-short tumble and a longer more aggressive one may cause damage. Be on the safe side and avoid it.
