turquoise
Turquoise, is an saturated, blue green mineral. Rare and desirable for its higher quality grades, this gemstone has been prized and valued since ancient times. Pliny the Elder referred to the stone as callais, and the Aztec called it Chalchihuitl. We know it as Turkoise thanks to the French, naming it after its locale from which it entered the European market, from Persia through Turkey.
