Turquoise gemstone information: The Turquoise birthstone is for the month of December, named in 1912. Turquoise is found in arid regions where copper-rich groundwater seeps downward and reacts with minerals that contain phosphorus and aluminum. The result of this sedimentary process is a compound of hydrated copper and aluminum phosphate. Turquoise stone colors range from sky blue, which is the most desirable as a gemstone, blue, bluish green, green, yellowish green and may contain bluish white to greenish white streaks. Some turquoise contains inclusions of its host rock, known as matrix, that appear as black or brown spider-webbing or patches within the material. Turquoise ranges from 5-6 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness (1 being Talc and 10 being Diamond). The most well known turquoise mines in the Southwest USA are located in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and California.
