[QUOTE="R_G_Bargy, post: 10752, member: 193"] I have found some nice blue Turquoise here in Vic. Good colour and quality but most of it is to thin to work. Green Turquoise? The only natural green material is very expensive and more a greenish blue then true green. I'm thinking you might be referring to Mojave (Mohave) Turquoise? This is a popular jewellery item at the moment. It's not a true Turquoise. It's a faux stone, most likely Howlite that has been dyed. This material is often dyed blue and traded under another name like Turquranite as an imitation of the real thing. It does look fantastic & I don't want to put you off, just letting you know what it actually is. [/QUOTE]
