Mohave purple turquoise from Arizona. It is composed of small nuggets of natural blue turquoise, to which they added red dye and a brassy-bronze metallic. Using a combination of heat and compression, and this is the end result. Bright, beautiful coloration, with contrasting golden metallic webbing through and through. Flecks of silvery pyrite, too. Even though this purple turquoise isn't natural, either in color or form, I find it to be absolutely gorgeous. Turquoise gemstone
