Block turquoise chart - Real vs. Fake - Turquoise People
2018年10月15日 · I found this chart depicting all kinds of block turquoise available to purchase. Always be aware of what you are buying! I found that gently “tapping” the stone against my teeth is a good test that I can do on site (before purchasing) without damaging the stone. Genuine turquoise will sound like glass when gently tapped against your tooth. Block will sound like …
The polychrome / multicolor turquoise topic - Identifying
2024年9月3日 · The oldest mention i could find in this context is from 6 years ago, when they advertised some of their turquoise as “Kaolin matrix Kingman turquoise”. On another occasion they used the term “Kaolin High Blue Kingman Turquoise” (“Stabilized Kingman Turquoise with kaolin gray/black matrix.”)
Turquoise from the Black Widow Mine

Identifying Your Navajo, Hopi, & Zuni Jewelry, Plus Maker
2011年2月2日 · Zuni and Navajo turquoise cluster pins. Very similar, but do show slight differences.

Also, remember the silver, the Zuni piece (on the left) has that nice open design, the Navajo piece has the heavier silver look.
Value and authenticity of this squash blossom necklace
2024年8月24日 · We’ve had discussions about what constitutes a squash blossom necklace previously on this forum. I’ve seen lots of pieces called squash blossom simply because they have tabs (of some sort) between silver beads and a naja pendant.

Identifying my Squash Blossom necklace - Turquoise People
2022年4月11日 · The turquoise is natural (not stabilized), which you can tell because it shows some color change. The silver beads look to be fully hand made, which is a feature of earlier Zuni squashes. It does have a lot of blossoms per side, which means more turquoise as well as the work that goes into making each blossom, so that is a nice feature.
