- GEOLOGICAL FORMATION
- Turquoise from Sonora, Mexico forms within the copper-rich geology of northern Sonora, a region known for extensive mineralisation associated with large copper deposits.
Turquoise is a hydrated Copper Aluminium Phosphate that develops relatively close to the Earth’s surface. As groundwater moved through fractures in the surrounding rock, it reacted with copper-bearing minerals together with sources of Aluminium and Phosphorus, gradually depositing Turquoise within the seams and cavities of the host rock.
Its distinctive blue colour comes from Copper held within the mineral structure, while variations in iron and the surrounding mineral environment can shift the colour towards blue-green and green. The crystal may also retain areas of its original matrix, creating natural contrasts between the Turquoise and the rock in which it formed.
The result is a compact, finely structured crystal whose colour and pattern are directly connected to the copper-rich conditions in which it developed.
