CARE AND CLEANING

You can wear turquoise jewelry daily if you take care of it. Turquoise is treated to enhance its beauty but can still get damaged if exposed to heat.

You can clean your turquoise jewelry with warm, soapy water, but you should not use steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Some turquoise is treated to make it look better, and using heat or solvents can damage the treated parts.

The turquoise stone is also very vulnerable to scratches. Furthermore, keeping it in water too often and too long will cause it to fade. It is recommended to drain its energy once a month by placing it in a bowl of Hematite stones and recharging it overnight among crystals and away from sunlight.

QUALITY

Fake Turquoise is made from softer stones than genuine Turquoise. Lightly use your nail for scratching a less visible part of the stone, like the backside, and if it scratches easily, it's howlite. If you can't cross the stone, it's likely genuine Turquoise!

The preferred color of Sleeping Beauty, Turquoise, is a medium sky blue hue. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise comes from the Sleeping Beauty Mine near Globe, Arizona.
