In this follow up to our last update on Persian turquoise, Mike demonstrates both the clear and matrix Persian turquoise and we see a comparison of the highest grad clear Persian with Sleeping Beauty. #turquoise #persianturquoise
Hi Mike, I liked this video about Persian turquoise. It is pretty accurate. As you mentioned: • Ajami: the most valuable turquoise stone, it is clear and blue in colour. • Shajari: it contains a matrix and inclusions. Other types include the following: • Choqaleh: a very soft type of chalk turquoise that must be stabilised before being used in jewellery. • Narm (Narmeh): small pieces of broken turquoise stone used in inlaid handicrafts (Firoozeh Koob). Cheers! Sohrab
