Shang and Zhou turquoise

Turquoise, also known as "turquoise", is named after its "shape like a pine tower and its color is nearly loose green". The English name is Turquoise stone. Turquoise is not produced in Turkey. It is said that the turquoise produced in ancient Persia was named after it was imported into Europe by Turkey.

Turquoise reserves are huge, not only in China, but also in Egypt, Iran, the United States, Russia, Chile, Australia, Peru, South Africa, India, Pakistan and Kasemir. "Shiya" explains: "(Turquoise) is shaped like a pine ball, and its color is nearly loose green, hence the name."

Before the Qing Dynasty in China, turquoise was also called "idea". Turquoise is a kind of traditional jade deeply loved by people at home and abroad. It has been worn for more than 5000 years. In the United States and other western countries, turquoise is regarded as a sacred object to ward off evil spirits and a symbol of good luck and happiness. Turquoise is also the birthstone of December in the western calendar.
