TRUE NATURAL TIBETAN STONE TURQUESE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Turquoise is widely appreciated by Tibetans and in Tibetan history Turquoise has been always prized, valued and worn as jewelry and beads. It is believed that Turquoise not only preserves the family wealth but also for its application in ritual and medicinal practice. "Gyu" (pronounced "yu") the name for turquoise seems to be indigenous, indicating that knowledge of the mineral came from within and not through outside influences. To call a turquoise a stone will offend a Tibetan who will exclaim, "This is a turquoise and not a stone," looking upon it as a thing distinct in itself.
There are four sources of Turquoise in Tibet; the most important is in the region between Lhasa and the China-Tibetan border particularly in the vicinity of Lhasa and near Chamdo, a small town of eastern Tibet about 400 miles north-east of Lhasa. The finest material comes from an area in the Gangschan Mountains of Ngari-Khorsum inWestern Tibet. There is another location at Draya to the west of Bathang, and the fourth area is in the mountains of the state of Derge in Eastern Tibet.
Turquoise rough occurs in a dense form filling up fissures as grape-like masses or nodules (botryoidally) and the thickness of the veins measure up to 20 millimeters.
Historically there hasn’t been much mining in Tibet, as the turquoise was all picked up by hand from the surface so as not to scar and deface the earth, but this practice may well have changed in recent years.
Tibetan turquoise rarely comes in a pure blue color as most pieces contain matrix, veins which may be brown (limonite), dark-grey (sandstone), or black (jasper); the spider-web matrix of the Tibetan material has a design unequaled by turquoise from any other part of the world. The rough is hand-cut and polished to cabochons.
In Tibetan literature, the word for turquoise is a favorite for describing natural objects of sky-blue color such as beautiful lakes, wells and flowers, even the manes of horses, bees and tadpoles! The hair of goddesses and the eyebrows of children born in a supernatural manner are spoken of as turquoise-blue, and Tibetans speak poetically of the sky as "the turquoise of heaven", the 13 Turquoise Heavens referring to traditional mythology.
A source of inspiration to all Tibetans, there are no two turquoise gems alike, and when observed sub-atomically it is found that it can no longer be regarded as an inert mass of matter. Each gem is a vibrating essence of atoms, a phenomenon distinct in itself!
If given turquoise by a loving friend, that stone would protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The turquoise is the symbol of friendship. It also brings peace to the home.
