Information: Most of the turquoise on
the market has been treated in some way to deal with four problems
characteristic with this gemstone. First, turquoise is soft,
sometimes even brittle, and thus susceptible to fractures. Second,
turquoise is porous and which makes it is susceptible to staining,
discoloration, and fading. Third, untreated turquoise never
comes in a slab form just "rocks", so you can never make
knife handles. Fourth, turquoise is getting harder to find and
supplies are of a lower quality. These four problems can be handled
in different ways, but the most common techniques is to reconstitute
raw stones by grinding the stones to a powder then adding a
binding agent then dried. This makes slabs of stone which can then
be used for knife handles. The Giraffe bones I use are from the leg bones of the Giraffe. These bones come from South Africa and were legally obtained from harvested animals. This particular piece has a nice patina and provides a nice contrast to the turquoise.
