Journey, Handcrafted Gemstone Necklace with Chunky African Turquoise and Black Polished Stones
African Turquoise is not turquoise at all. It is a type of jasper found in Africa. Many sites on the Internet are selling "African Turquoise" and do not acknowledge the fact that the item is actually jasper and not turquoise. Jasper is a form of chalcedony and so is agate. Jaspers are opaque because they contain microscopic grains of crystalline quartz, whereas the quarts in agate are more fiber-like. Jaspers take on varying colors depending on the other minerals present at the time of formation. One advantage of African Jasper is that it is harder than turquoise.
