"Bronze Turquoise"

Item Description

PLEASE NOTE: This material is reconstituted Turquoise that is infused with smelted bronze and then dyed purple to create the unusual color. This material is made from natural stones, but it enhanced / heated / dyed to make a material that is not found in nature. There is nothing inherently wrong with enhanced stones. Many are very pretty and useful in jewelry. What's wrong is to misrepresent them as something the are not, so I'm letting everybody know what you are looking at before you bid. The stone is really pretty, especially up close, and would make for a great piece of jewelry, just don't buy it thinking that it's a natural gem. It has an "Oval Cabochon" cut. Enjoy!
