Description
Turquoise is a secondary mineral, forming veins in weathering copper and alumina-rich rocks of desert regions. This mineral is brittle and very porous, which may lead it to fade or crack. To prevent this, stones are often impregnated with wax or resin. Crystals of turquoise are very rare; most turquoise is deposited as a crust on the surface of rocks.
