* The Sleeping Beauty mine is located in Globe, Arizona, it is one of the best known in the United States with an intense blue turquoise. Its name comes from the appearance of the mountain resembling a sleeping woman lying on her back. The mine has been closed since 2012.
Many fake turquoises are unfortunately flooding the market today because the deposits are becoming depleted. Many use turquenite or colored howlite and resell it for real turquoise. Real turquoise increases in value from year to year (with the exhaustion of the deposits); so be wary of cheap jewelry, it is often fake.

(1) - The classification concerning the quality of the surface of Tahitian cultured pearls is:

Category A: Pearl presenting at most one imperfection or a group of light imperfections concentrated on no more than 10% of its surface. Very beautiful chandelier.
Category B: Pearl with some slight imperfections concentrated on no more than 30% of its surface. Fine to average luster.
Category C: Pearl with slight imperfections concentrated on no more than 60% of its surface. Medium luster.
Category D: Pearls presenting either light imperfections on more than 60% of the surface, without deep imperfections, or light and deep imperfections concentrated on no more than 60% of its surface. Low luster.

(2) The luster of a pearl is the measure of the quantity and quality of light that is reflected from the surface of a pearl or just below the surface of a pearl. The luster of a good quality pearl is crisp and bright. You should almost be able to see your reflection on the surface of a pearl. A pearl that appears too white, dull or chalky is of low quality.

(3) A pearl's orient is how the prism of natural light breaks down into the depths of a pearl's aragonite layers. This iridescence gives the pearl all the shine which will be enhanced by reflections of colors which range from white to black in tones of cream, pink, blue, peacock green, purple and gold.
