How Turquoise is Formed


Turquoise is a secondary mineral; that is, a mineral that undergoes a chemical change and takes on a new form. Turquoise deposits slowly build up as acidic water seeps through another mineral such as copper. Thus, a lot of turquoise beads are not originally from turquoise mines at all but from mineral mines that stumbled upon a pocket of turquoise. Most turquoise is found in dry places since weathering leaves cavities in which turquoise can build up.
