Hubei Turquoise is a natural copper-aluminum phosphate mineral valued for its vibrant blue to green hues, often with distinctive black or brown matrix patterns. Dakota Stones offers Hubei Turquoise beads that are popular for their unique color variations and intricate veining, making them a versatile choice for jewelry designers. This material is relatively soft, so it requires careful handling during design and wear. Hubei Turquoise is typically cut and polished into beads, cabochons, and other shapes suitable for a range of jewelry applications.
