Chinese

Chinese turquoise has a long history and remains one of the most important sources of turquoise in the world. Most of the best-known material comes from Hubei Province, and Hubei turquoise is one of the most common high-quality stones our artists use from China. The region has produced a wide range of turquoise in shades of blue, blue-green, and green.

One of the things that makes Chinese turquoise so desirable is its variety. Some stones show clear, even color, while others have bold black or brown matrix, webbing, or patterned host rock. This range of color and character has made Chinese turquoise popular with collectors, lapidaries, and jewelry artists alike.

From bright blue stones to darker green material with dramatic matrix, Chinese turquoise continues to be an important part of the turquoise market. Its beauty, variety, and long history have made it a staple in both traditional and contemporary jewelry.
