<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 471225, member: 5833&quot;]Hello, Chantal.&nbsp; The first thing to learn about turquoise is that there are a number of ways of mimicking it by dying other types of stone, as well as ways to make natural turquoise look better than it did when it came out of the ground.&nbsp; I agree with kyratango on this one &amp; see those darker blue places as evidence of unevenly distributed dye.&nbsp; The fact that the bracelet was made by stringing drilled pieces on elastic is a good clue that the stones are not valuable.&nbsp; I would be very surprised to see good turquoise treated this way.&nbsp; Still a handsome bracelet.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
