This genuine Turquoise has only been hardness enhancement using the Zachary Process
Turquoise that has been treated with the 'Zachary Process' is difficult to differentiate from untreated material. The process is designed to strengthen the material. After the process the stone is gently heated to dissipate any traces of residual chemicals used in the treatment.
The up-side of 'Enhanced' or 'Natural Processed' Turquoise is that the color remains stable over time as opposed to natural, untreated turquoise which can oxidize, turning green over a long period of time. Natural Turquoise stone is porous, which can be detected under a loupe, as opposed to enhanced material which will be totally smooth.
