Tibetan Turquoise is a rare luxury that is mined in the Himalayas.

For thousands of years, Tibetan Turquoise has been prized and coveted by Tibetan and Nepalese people for its alluring beauty and spiritual values. Each piece displays a striking color and unique pattern, caused by the matrix showing through on the finished pieces. This is another of the sought after vales associated with this gem as each piece has a unique pattern put there by Mother Nature.
