Stone: Chinese Turquoise
Chinese Turquoise ranges in color from all shades of green, to light blue, to a beautiful dark blue. Much of the material has a dark brown or black matrix and may also have a beautiful spider webbing. The area called Hubei produces high-grade matrix turquoise, so it also known as 'Cloud Mountain' or 'Hubei turquoise'.
