American Turquoise is usually defined by where it is mined, such as Kingman or Sleeping Beauty. Hubei Turquoise has historically been referred to as simply “Chinese Turquoise”, even though it comes from many different locations.
For over 2000 years Turquoise has been mined in China and is used in many carvings and works of art dating back to the earliest dynasties.
Hubei turquoise spans the range of the color spectrum from deep greens to dark blues and even yellow.

Hi, thank you for the awesome information! Would you please show some of the yellow Hubei turquoises? I am seeing some stones cut for jewelry that is labeled as “yellow Turquoise” however, they look so much like Serpentine, I’d love to know what the actual yellow would look like in stones, to be sure I’m representing them correctly in my jewelry.
