I cherry picked this piece in my recent trip to Iran and now its your chance to own these rare gemstones. I have vitneced how the price of turquoise increased dramatically in Iran in recent years. Iran also imports turquoise from other countries such as America, Egypt and China but they are cheaper. These turquoises due to their inferior quality are usually stabilised by polymers and dyed while Persian turquoise does not need these kinds of treatments.
Iran has a number of turquoise mines but the most famous turquoise comes from Neishabur. This mine has been mined since 5000 years ago (based on the human bones which was found) and is considered as the best and turquoise in the world.
Turquoise was once a highly prestigious gemstone of cultures such as the Persians (Iran), Egyptians, Aztecs and Tibetans. Interestingly, the belief shared by all these civilizations associate turquoise with success, a bringer of good fortune and protection. In Persia turquoise initially was called "pirouzeh" meaning "victory" and later after Arab invasion "firouzeh".
The word turquoise, which dates to the 17th century, is derived from the French turques for "Turks", because the mineral was first brought to Europe from Turkey, from mines in the historical Khorasan Province of Persia. Pliny the Elder referred to the mineral as callais and the Aztecs knew it as chalchihuitl.
