Turquoise (Firoza) Dark-Cyan Loose Gemstone

Turquoise (Firoza) sold as a loose gemstone, so you can choose the weight and the setting yourself.

This is a loose turquoise, not a finished piece of jewellery; no metal setting is included. Weight options: 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti (16 options). The listing describes the tone as dark cyan; gems vary, so ask for a daylight photo if the exact shade matters. Weights step from 3 Ratti to 18 Ratti, and larger weights mean a larger stone.

About turquoise

Turquoise ranges from sky-blue to green, often with a darker web of matrix veining, and in India it is known as Firoza. It has been used as a protective talisman in many cultures, from Persia to the Americas, and is a traditional birthstone for December. Vedic practice normally starts with a horoscope review by a qualified astrologer before a gemstone is chosen. Tradition attaches meaning to the gem, but no result is promised.
