Turquoise

Turquoise (CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O), a hydrous copper phosphate mineral, is prized for its distinctive blue-green colour. Major sources include Iran (traditional finest grade), southwestern USA (Arizona, New Mexico), and secondarily Afghanistan, Tibet, and Australia. India is not a primary producer of turquoise but is a significant processor, trader, and re-exporter of cut and polished turquoise stones, similar to sapphires. India's competitive advantage lies in lapidary expertise and access to diverse turquoise lots — natural, stabilized, and treatment-disclosed stones for global jewelry manufacturers.

Commercial lots are structured into 3 quality grades. Premium Natural (Iranian-grade) material — Hand-selected, natural untreat or minimally stabilized, cabochon-polished — exhibits Deep blue or blue-green; vivid and targets Fine jewellery, collectors, investment, priced at +100–200% over commercial grade. Commercial Grade (Stabilized) grade, with Blue to blue-green; acceptable variations, serves Commercial jewellery, fashion accessories. Lab-Created / Synthetic grade addresses volume Affordable fashion jewellery, mass-market at the base reference price. Available forms include Faceted, Cabochon, or Rough (Customizable), enabling jewellery manufacturers and retail buyers to source their precise cut specification. A Mohs hardness of Standard Mohs scale for Turquoise provides the durability expected in set jewellery for everyday wear. Treatment status: Natural, stabilized, impregnated, lab-created — disclosed in full on all certificates of authenticity and gemological reports.

Turquoise is a traditional gemstone with supply dominated by Iran (premium) and USA (commercial). India's niche is as a processing and trading hub offering stabilized, commercial-grade turquoise to jewellery manufacturers worldwide, not as a primary producer. Key B2B buyers sourcing Indian turquoise include jewellery manufacturers, gem wholesalers, metaphysical and wellness retailers, and premium home-décor brands across USA, UAE, Europe, South East Asia.
