Modern Turquoise and handmade Silver earrings, the 6x4mm oval Turquoise, matrix, of China origin. (Matrix refers to the grain of the Turquoise mother rock so common in Turquoise gemstones; it is, indeed, rather uncommon for Turquoise gemstones to be pure blue, without matrix.)
Turquoise has been mined in China since antiquity, and Turquoise has always been a favourite gemstone in that part of the world. It is thought that China has presently, as of 2025, over 15 working Turquoise mines, in different parts of the country.
