Turquoise is a gemstone that is prized for its beautiful, bright blue color. It is often used in jewelry, and is often set in silver or other precious metals. Turquoise is mined in a number of different locations around the world, including the United States, Mexico, and Iran. It is a relatively soft stone, so it is often treated to make it more durable. The color of turquoise can range from pale blue to deep greenish-blue, and the gemstone is often veined or mottled with other colors. Turquoise is believed to have healing properties, and has been used in various forms of traditional medicine for centuries.
