Ancient Persia, now modern-day Iran, was one of the earliest sources of the world's finest turquoise. The mines in Nishapur have been celebrated for producing turquoise of breathtaking color and superior quality for over two thousand years. This remarkable heritage played a crucial role in elevating turquoise to its esteemed status as a gemstone beloved by royalty and artisans alike across different epochs and lands. During the height of its prominence, it was often used to adorn everything from grand monuments to personal adornments, making its mark on the annals of history. Thus, possessing a Persian turquoise from The Natural Gemstone Company is akin to holding a fragment of an ancient legacy, a testament to the timeless pursuit of beauty and craftsmanship.
