EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of turquoise gemstones. Known as the most valuable non-transparent gemstone, turquoise is a hydrated copper aluminium phosphate that has been cherished for centuries. Its name originates from a French word meaning "stone of Turkey" although it is now primarily associated with its striking blue-green hue. What makes turquoise even more fascinating is its ability to contain impurities that result in various shades, including vibrant greens. This diversity adds an extra layer of allure to these precious gems. The historical significance of turquoise cannot be overstated, as evidence of its use dates back to ancient times. Early Egyptian jewelry from 6000 BC proudly displays this exquisite stone, highlighting its enduring popularity throughout human history. In this photo print, we can admire multiple cut and polished pieces of natural turquoise. Each gemstone represents the remarkable wonders found within our Earth's geological formations. The intricate patterns and unique characteristics displayed by these stones showcase the true artistry created by nature itself. Science Photo Library brings us this stunning image capturing the essence and magnificence of turquoise gemstones without any commercial connotations or references to specific companies involved in their trade. It serves as a reminder that some treasures are simply meant to be admired for their intrinsic beauty and cultural significance rather than their monetary value alone.
