E4 - Polychrome Qingu TurquoisePolychrome Qingu Turquoise This is stone #4 in the photo (marked with the brass number).

Egyptian Turquoise

resembling miniature forests

but it does have a beauty of its own

The stone had been tucked away for over 30 years

making each piece a one-of-a-kind treasure

Jason and I were offered a rare opportunity to purchase the stone that produced these cabochons from a private collection

lime-green to minty hues

This is stone #5 in the photo (marked with the brass number)

It's an ultra-rare

due to multiple tragedies from structural failure the main mines have been closed until a plan can be submitted for infrastructure to keep the miners safe

The intense crimson coloring comes from another copper mineral
