Collection: Hubie Turquoise

Hubie or Hubei turquoise, also known as "Chinese Turquoise," originates from China's Hubei Province, boasting over 2,000 years of mining history. It showcases a diverse color spectrum, ranging from deep greens and dark blues to vibrant yellows, with the most prized variety featuring a rich dark blue hue adorned with intricate spider-webbing patterns. Often stabilized to enhance durability, Hubei turquoise exhibits distinctive matrix veining in shades of brown, black, or golden hues. Its unique combination of color and matrix patterns makes it a sought-after choice for artisans, especially in Native American jewelry crafting. Named after the Hubie mine, its primary source in the southwestern United States, Hubei turquoise continues to captivate enthusiasts with its vibrant colors and striking beauty.
