turquoise

[Guest guest]

It can be very irritating as people just wana make money and bluff

their ways through with others that put their trust in them.

Everything in their shop they will claim to be natural and true. I

think i just bought a bunch of fake turquoise and also some fake

amber. I went shopping for stones that day and bought turquoise and

some amber. I went to another little shopping centre and realised

that there is a clas that teach people to differentiate real stones

and fake ones and on the posters pasted on the window are exactly

the so-called amber i bought, all the few are in the posters and

they called it bakelite. That is when i start to suspect that my

pink turquoise could be fake too.

 

As mentioned earlier on, no one would like to spend money to support

mistreatment of stone spirits. However, I supposed quite a number

of us had bought some so called fake stones or mistreated stone

spirits. I just felt that since we've already bought those stones,

it is still our responsibility to treat them well be it they are

fake or real. We are all stones lover and should not mistreat them

further just because they have been previously mistreated. We

should be angry at those people whom mistreat them and not the

innocent stones themselves.

We just returned from Arizona and I received a turquoise bracelet. The

designer told me that Turquoise is porous and it will turn black if

chemicals get on it. She suggested I use a silver cloth polisher on

the silver if I wanted to clean it and not use liquids. I'm guessing

if you wear your jewelry alot, you're just picking up all sorts of

oils, cleaners, grit and what not that's seeping into your turquoise.

Now after this discussion of fake and dyed turquoise I'm wondering if

the stones the Navahos used were fake or real. On one ring I wear

alot the stones have turned darker. What would make the stones turn

color?
