Turquoise (from the French "turquois" meaning Turkish, since the Turkish first introduced this material to Europe) is a blue to green opaque mineral. Turquoise has been highly prized as a precious stone in ancient history and was first mined in Persia over 2000 years ago. Today those old mines are almost depleted and the best Turquoise comes from the U.S, China, and Tibet.
Turquoise is the birthstone for the month of December.
