Natural Turquoise Tumbled Kingman Mine Arizona with Display Card

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this tumbled stone: Natural Turquoise Tumbled Kingman Mine Arizona with Display Card (shop SKU KTTA3).

Turquoise is a blue-green copper aluminum phosphate, long prized in jewelry traditions around the world. In crystal traditions, it is associated with protection and communication. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. It comes with a display card. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.
