Old Tibetan Turquoise, green through age and much wear against the skin, full of character; when cut from the rock some hundred years ago it would have been blue. Turquoise is one of the two rocks of the gemstone world, the other being Lapis Lazuli, and Turquoise is porous enough to absorb body oils through wear, and gradually darken in colour.
