Titanium Ring Inlay Material: Turquoise
Turquoise has a long history as an ornamental mineral. Found in the relics of Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, European, Native American and Mexican populations, Turquoise has placed a role in many ancient societies. King Tut’s (King Tutankhamen) burial mask is adorned with Turquoise. Many pieces of Aztec jewelry also use Turquoise. It also appears several times in Judeo-Christian scripture, notably, the Book of Exodus.
Turquoise is noted for its blue and green colors. The blue colors come from copper and the green colors come from iron. It is the balance of these two which determine the color.
Turquoise is mined in places where there is a high concentration of copper—Southwest United States, Iran, Sinai Peninsula, China and a host of other countries. Each region’s Turquoise, of course, has different properties and compositions.
