Stabilized does not mean dyed, it means the color has been stabilized, today about 97% of all turquoise on the market is stabilized. Stabilization is necessary in order to maintain the beautiful color of your turquoise and harden the stone. Turquoise changes color over time because it gradually absorbs oils from the skin as it is worn and as it comes into constant contact with the natural elements. The colors in stabilized turquoise, however, are permanent. The color is stabilized.Another reason for stabilizing turquoise is that turquoise is a relatively soft stone. Stabilizing hardens the stone so you can easily cut and drill it, the little hole put in the bead so you can string it, The hardness of gemstones is measured on hardness scale measuring from 1 to 10. As a comparison, diamonds are a 10 on this scale; turquoise is a 5 or 6.
