Formation & Essence Turquenite is dyed Howlite—a white/gray borate mineral with web-like veining—artificially colored to mimic turquoise. 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.
