Turquoise is A Timeless Treasure - Turquoise takes more Than a Million Years to form
I really enjoyed this brief video, which explains how turquoise is formed.
Turquoise is not mined, but instead is formed as water drips through rocks that have copper, and other minerals in them. A complex chemical reaction causes the turquoise. All the reactions to the "impurities" become the beautiful veining and colors of turquoise.
This video tells of turquoise deep symbolism and crystal meaning as well.
