Avocado Turquoise wrapped in Gold Wire

Avocado Turquoise is a rare and earthy twist on a beloved classic—combining the protective power of turquoise with a warm, olive-green hue.

• A rare green variety of turquoise — Avocado Turquoise gets its name from its distinctive greenish-yellow tone, reminiscent of ripe avocado flesh. This color comes from higher iron content and lower copper levels compared to traditional blue turquoise.
• Primarily sourced from the American Southwest — Most avocado turquoise is found in Nevada and Arizona, particularly from mines like the Carico Lake and Damele mines, which are known for producing green and yellow-green turquoise.
• Modern lapidary interest — While not as historically documented as blue turquoise, avocado turquoise has gained popularity in recent decades among collectors and jewelers for its earthy, organic look and rarity.
• Sometimes stabilized for durability — Like many turquoise varieties, avocado turquoise is often stabilized to enhance its hardness and preserve its color, making it suitable for everyday wear.
• A contemporary favorite in metaphysical circles — Its unique color and grounding energy have made it a rising star in crystal healing and spiritual practices.
