About Jasper:
Jasper, a type of "chalcedony" quartz similar to agate, comes in a wide variety of patterns and colors from around the world. Notable jasper varieties include red jasper, picture jasper, bloodstone, and leopard jasper. While jasper and agate both are atomically the same, jasper is differentiated by being a completely opaque stone, whereas agate is translucent. Agate and jasper can form together or in combination with one another.
Both hard and durable, jasper ranks 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Due to the microcrystalline nature of how chalcedony is formed, stones are resistant to chipping and breaking. Jasper jewelry can safely be cleaned with chemical jewelry cleaners and ultrasonic cleaners.

About Turquoise
What once was regarded a common byproduct of copper mining is now realized to be a rather scarce gem. Typically found in or near copper mines around the world, turquoise from each locality differs in color, quality, character, and rarity. Certain mines are known for producing highly valuable material in very limited quantity. Inclusions of other copper-bearing minerals such as azurite, malachite, and chrysocolla are not uncommon.
Turquoise ranks 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Because this is often not suitable for everyday wear, most turquoise on the market is hardened (or "stabilized") with electricity and/or polymer. Stabilization is viewed as an accepted, regular practice in the lapidary industry and is not to be confused with "dying" material. Dyed (or artificially colored) material is not viewed as favorably among dealers and collectors. It is very important to be careful when cleaning your turquoise jewelry. Turquoise is a porous stone that can absorb any harsh chemical used. Avoid putting your turquoise jewelry in chemical jewelry cleaners, and be sure to focus only on cleaning the metal around your stone.
