Persian Turquoise

About this stone

The finest turquoise in the world has long been said to come from Persia — the mines near Nishapur in Iran have produced it for more than a thousand years, and its sky-blue color set the standard for the gem. The name turquoise comes from the French for Turkish stone, because it reached Europe along Turkish trade routes. Traditionally it is associated with protection and good fortune, and it is the birthstone of December.
