Polished TG-0008 Mohave Gemstone, Color : Purple

Dyed to achieve vibrant colors (like purple, red, green, or orange).

Compressed under high pressure using a hydraulic press.

Stabilized with a clear resin to harden the material (Turquoise is naturally soft, $5-6$ on the Mohs scale).

Injected with Metal: During the pressing process, a metallic matrix—typically bronze or copper powder—is introduced. This metal creates the striking, spiderweb-like veining and golden sheen that makes Mohave Turquoise distinctive.
