Moisture, skin oils and environmental factors can change the color of turquoise jewelry if left untreated. But stabilizing turquoise helps preserve the stone's normal color. Natural, mined turquoise nuggets are heated at a very low temperature for about a week, slowly drawing out moisture without damaging the texture. The stones are then placed into acrylic or polymer chemicals to replace water molecules. This stabilizes the stone and keeps its beauty and value intact. Note: Gemstones and pearls are sometimes treated to enhance their natural beauty. see details About Chaco Canyon Southwest… Delve into the culture and heritage of Native American peoples with handmade jewelry from Chaco Canyon Southwest.
