Formation & Essence
Turquenite is dyed Howlite—a white/gray borate mineral with web-like veining—artificially colored to mimic turquoise. Sourced primarily from China, its vivid blue hue (with visible gray matrix or undyed white spots) offers an affordable alternative for jewelry and decor.

Key Notes

  • Craft: Enhanced via dyeing to achieve turquoise-like aesthetics, often with residual quartz inclusions.

  • Exclusivity: The sole dyed natural crystal in our collection, ethically disclosed as lab-altered.

  • Variability: Batches vary in dye saturation; each piece is graded for quality and priced accordingly.

Ethical Clarity
While not natural turquoise, Turquenite democratizes lapidary art, blending accessibility with earthy charm. Ideal for budget-conscious creators seeking coastal vibes without the premium price tag.
