Polychrome Qingu Turquoise is a natural turquoise variety sourced from the renowned Qingu mine in the Hubei Province of China. It features a dramatic, multi-colored mix ranging from robin's egg blue and teal to deep forest green, often mixed with iron-stained or rusty orange-brown spots. It has a matrix characterized by thick dark brown, black, or spiderweb veining that creates a strong contrast against the brighter gemstone body. Individual stones often resemble tiny, painted landscapes.
