This charming gemstone is a Natural Tibetan Turquoise from Himalayas.
Tibetan Turquoise is a rare luxury that is mined in the Himalayas – ours specifically is from the area around Lhasa in the Himalayan area.
Turquoise is formed by the percolation of groundwater through aluminous rock in the presence of copper – and the intense underground conditions around the Himalayan Mountain Range have, over many millions of years, given us a beautiful colour of this gem. It tends to be blue-green in colour and is sought after for this fact as most Turquoise found elsewhere leans more towards the blues.
Almost every person living in the Himalayas will have a piece of Turquoise, if not multiple pieces. For them, it’s a very spiritual thing to own, and it’s the most prized gemstone in this part of the world. They believe it is the ‘Sky Stone’ and has been brought to the surface of the earth from the heavens. Tibetans have valued the stone in this way since at least 1,000 BC. It has been used as a token of love between people and is thought to protect both the person giving the gem and the person who received it as a gift.

Beautiful Gemstones Designed by Nature
The Henryka Designer Gemstones Collection is a celebration of completely natural and beautifully rare gemstones from across the world.
Each gemstone is carefully hand-chosen by us for its natural and un-treated colours and patterns. We look for vibrant gemstones we know you will love, as well as rare gemstones you may have never even heard of from all corners of the earth.
Instead of seeking perfection, we choose gemstones based on the natural quirks and inclusions that make them entirely unique. This means incredible stripes, bold spots, wave-like ripples and swirls that give each gemstone its own unique fingerprint.
These characterful gemstones are then cut, polished and set BY HAND into silver jewellery designs, from statement necklaces to rings, earrings and bracelets. When wearing a piece of Henryka Designer Gemstone jewellery, you can be assured that no one will ever be wearing the same piece. It is individual to you.
