During this process, the stone is put under pressure, causing it to absorb a clear epoxy or plastic filler. This results in a harder stone that is suitable for use in jewelry. The stabilization process was first invented in the 1950s in Arizona.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_msg\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_msg\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_msg\"\u003eWhy is turquoise stabilized?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"gmail_msg\"\u003eTurquoise by nature is a relatively soft, porous stone, and it can vary greatly in its quality.   Only higher-grade natural turquoise is actually dense enough that it can be cut and shaped without damaging the stone.  Softer, lower-grade turquoise has to be treated in some way in order for it to be usable in jewelry. The resulting piece of turquoise is then much stronger and easier to cut, polish, and set by a jeweler without risk of breaking. Stabilized turquoise can be produced in large quantities and is less expensive than natural turquoise.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TFD Jewellery Crystals and Curio Pieces","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48951117119787,"sku":"","price":715.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/8763\/4507\/files\/IMG_9441.jpg?v=1716159476","url":"https:\/\/tfdjewellery.com\/en-cn\/products\/handmade-artisan-kingman-turquoise-ring","provider":"TFD Jewellery, Crystals \u0026 Curios","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
