Care

Turquoise is soft and can absorb liquids. Do not soak it, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and harsh chemicals (including household cleaners and some cosmetics). Store it apart from harder gems to avoid scratches. For buying tips in India—matrix, treatment, price—read our Turquoise (Firoza) buying guide.

Jewellery use

The oval cabochon works well in a bezel or a well-supported ring or pendant setting. Sky-blue turquoise looks good with silver, white gold, and yellow gold.
