This stunning gemstone is making waves in
the jewelry world, and for good reason.
Let's dive into why it's so special and
why it's called "lavender" turquoise.
Rarity and Origin
Kazakhstan turquoise, also known as
Golden Hills turquoise, is sourced from
the remote Altyn-Tyube mine in Kazakhstan.
This gem can only be mined during the
freezing winter months when the area is
covered in snow.
Summer mining is impossible due to flooding,
adding to its exclusivity.
The Lavender Color
Unlike typical turquoise, Kazakhstan
turquoise often features a light blue color
with a matrix that ranges from deep lavender
to reddish-brown. This distinctive color is
why it's also called "lavender" turquoise.
Why It's Special
Kazakhstan turquoise is known for its chemical
purity and vibrant color. It's one of the most durable
and consistent turquoise varieties,
making it a favorite among jewelry artists.
Its rarity and unique appearance have made
it highly sought after.

stunning lavender color, and rich history make it a true treasure.
