Green Turquoise Jewelry in Sterling Silver

Yes, green turquoise is real. It is the same mineral as blue turquoise, formed through the same natural process, with one key difference: the presence of iron or zinc during formation shifts the color from blue toward green. The result ranges from bright apple green to deep forest tones, with the same matrix patterns and natural variation found in blue varieties.

This collection features genuine green turquoise set in sterling silver, designed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. All stones are natural, not dyed, and come from recognized mines in the American Southwest.

Where Green Turquoise Comes From

Several well-known mines produce distinctive green turquoise:

  • Carico Lake (Nevada) — known for bright lime-to-apple green tones with minimal matrix. One of the most sought-after sources for collectors.
  • Kingman (Arizona) — produces a range from blue-green to deep green, often with visible black or brown matrix.
  • Royston (Nevada) — known for rich green and brown-green tones with heavy matrix, giving each stone strong visual character.

When a piece in this collection features a named mine source, it is noted on the product page.

Green Turquoise vs. Blue Turquoise

The difference between blue and green turquoise comes down to mineral content. Blue turquoise forms when copper is the primary element. Green turquoise forms when iron or zinc is also present, shifting the color along the spectrum. Both are genuine turquoise, equally valued in Southwestern jewelry.
