Turquoise
Discovered by ancient Egyptians, turquoise was widely used in treasures fit for pharaohs.
A December birthstone, turquoise is light to dark blue or blue green gemstone.
The finest color is an intense blue that is uniform throughout. Turquoise may contain narrow veins of its host rock known as the matrix, sometimes in a web-like pattern.
