Turquoise - Turquoise is found all over the world in places where volcanic activity has occurred.  Large deposits have been found in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Tibet.  In the United States, turquoise is found in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Virginia.  The color of turquoise ranges from sky blue to various shades of blue-green, depending upon the minerals found in the area where the turquoise is mined.  For example, the more copper in the vicinity, the bluer the stone... the more iron in the vicinity, the greener the stone.
