Turquoise is characterized by its deep, vivid blue color.
There are many people who collect turquoise items such as necklaces and bracelets. You can see various turquoise items on the streets, but can you tell which ones are "real" turquoise?
Many people may think, "Isn't all the turquoise sold in stores real?", but in fact, most of the turquoise sold in stores is imitation*!
*Products reinforced with resin or imitations made to look like turquoise
Natural turquoise is actually quite rare.
When you think about diamonds and pearls, which are typical jewelry, you rarely come across natural diamonds or pearls in accessory shops around town. When people buy imitation products such as diamond or pearl-like accessories, they probably do so with the full understanding that they are real.
