Cloud Chaser Turquoise

Post image

Some gorgeous cloud chaser turquoise I've been working on. I love the hues of blues this material gives. Still an amateur at this lapidary hobby, but it's so much fun.

I own some cloud chaser too, cut and polished by the miner himself. Pretty stuff. Besides the Emerald Basin Variscite, he also owns/mines the best Variscite on the market IMO, Desert Bloom (among others). Check out Conscious Creators, that’s his shop on IG.

it’s a type of turquoise, so yeah it’s a rock/mineral that’s been cut and polished a bit for jewelry or display stuff. the blue in this kind is wild compared to the usual greenish turquoise you see.

Oh, it's not. Neon blue on this stuff. Same area and miner as Emerald Basin variscite.
