Turquoise is one of the oldest gemstones known to humanity, celebrated for its vivid blue-green hues and rich historical significance. It has been prized for thousands of years, not only for its beauty but also for its purported protective and healing properties. Turquoise is formed through the interaction of groundwater with minerals such as copper, aluminum, and iron, resulting in a unique range of colors from sky blue to green.
Campitos turquoise originates from the Campitos mine, located in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The Campitos turquoise is often recognized by its vibrant blue color, which is sometimes compared to the clear blue skies of Arizona. It is found as nuggets and is often characterized by a unique matrix, which can include pyrite, adding a beautiful, metallic shimmer to the stone.
