African Turquoise 3x6mm Square Rondelle - 15-16 Inch 29x46-60x80mm Unlike many other turquoise varietiesAfrican Turquoise is not actually Turquoise, but rather a speckled teal Jasper found in Africa and often treated to simulate the beautiful blue to green associated with true Turquoise. It contains inclusions such as copper and iron, creating veins and mottling that ranges in color from rust to black. Considered a stone of transformation and evolution, it is believed to awaken those who carry it to their highest spiritual purpose.
