[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 636242, member: 2844"]Nice bracelet, BMRT. My guess is Himalayan, not too old. I have no reason to believe those stones have been dyed. I love the liveliness of the different shades of turquoise with the rather rough looking veining. I have seen fairly recent Tibetan jewellery with that hole in the back of the bezel, and native Tibetan turquoise is often greenish blue to green. When Chinese stabilized turquoise is green, it is because the stone was originally green. China has an enormous supply of different kinds of turquoise, mostly in Hubei province. It has as much variety in colours as US turquoise and often resembles it.[/QUOTE]
