Irani Turquoise is a highly regarded variety of turquoise, known for its exceptional quality and deep blue to green color with a smooth texture. Iran, particularly the Kerman province, has been famous for producing some of the world’s finest turquoise for centuries, and it’s often considered superior to turquoise from other regions like the United States or Tibet.
The stones are prized for their vivid, rich blue hues, sometimes with beautiful matrix patterns of brown or black veins. Irani turquoise tends to have a harder, denser texture compared to other types of turquoise, making it suitable for intricate jewelry designs and carvings.
