Tibetan turquoise is a unique, bluish-green gemstone that is mainly found in the highlands of Tibet and sometimes also in parts of China. Unlike American or Persian turquoise, Tibetan turquoise is often slightly darker and may contain brown or black veins and inclusions, giving the stone a rustic, natural look. In Tibetan culture, turquoise is considered a sacred stone that offers protection and positive energy. It is often worn in amulets and spiritual jewelry to promote harmony, happiness and protection.
