  • What is Involved in Stabilizing a Stone?
    Stabilized stones have been treated to improve its durability, stabilize cracks, and improve the stone's appearance (a dye is sometimes added to the stone - this is called a color shot or color stabilized). Liquid hardeners are injected into soft, porous stone at high pressures - this fills the pores in the stone. Turquoise is often stabilized.

    What is Chalk Turquoise?
    Chalk turquoise is a form of natural turquoise that has a white chalk-like consistency. It has the same chemical composition as turquoise, only without the copper (it's the copper that causes the turquoise color). The chalk is then dyed and stabilized to produce a material that's hard enough to use in jewelry with a pleasing turquoise color.
