โ๏ธ Once I lived next to a Turquoise mine in ๐๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ผ.
๐๏ธ From my home I could see the ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐พ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ, which looked like a small hill in the distance. All along that area of southern Colorado you can see old diggings from prospects. The area was rich in phosphates which is one compounds along with copper and aluminum that make up turquoise .
๐คฒ Driving up to the mine I knew it was still an active mine, but I was determined to go check it out. What I gathered was a few handfuls of chalky blue green turquoise fragments...
๐ Used in this jewelry is the more classic robins egg blue ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐บ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ง๐๐ฟ๐พ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐๐ฒ.
๐ Turquoise gets its name from the French turquois meaning "Turkish" because the mineral was first brought to Europe through Turkey, from mines in the historical Khorasan Province of Persia. The stone is also considered sacred to the indigenous Zuni and Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest. The pre-Columbian Aztec and Maya also considered his blue stone to be a valuable and culturally important stone.
๐ฐ You may have also noticed Robins Egg Blue has been used by ๐๐ข๐๐๐๐ง๐ฒ & ๐๐จ (since 1845). Why? Because turquoise brooches were traditionally given by Victorian brides as a ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ.
