"African" turquoise isn't really turquoise. It's called "turquoise" because it occurs in the same mines as turquoise and has the same matrix patterns. More accurately, it's a jasper or serpentine stone with webbings of black hematite. That doesn't take away from its beauty. The stone properties are said to enhance communication, creativity, and intuition. And the wearer. This necklace casts serious shade over the competition.
