♥SONORAN GOLD CHARACTERISTICS
It’s not surprising that the Sonoran Gold Turquoise has gained popularity in the past years. With its striking and unique colors, there is no doubt it is a beauty! Its distinctive colors are aqua blue, lime, bright green, and even a two-tone blue and green. Best of both turquoise worlds.
In addition, the Sonoran Gold turquoise also showcases golden to brown matrixes. In the turquoise market, the high-grade type of Sonoran Gold turquoise is a two-tone, usually, the one that fades from baby blue to lime green. It also has a yellow spider-web matrix.
Just like most turquoise, this turquoise is soft, which is why most of it is treated or stabilized using the Zachary process.
* Zachary treatment - this is a process that improves a turquoise stone’s ability to take a good polish. In addition, it also has the potential to improve a stone’s color, but this is not always the case. This treatment also helps in decreasing the turquoise’s porosity.
Lastly, one more thing to note is this turquoise is not mined in veins, but as individual nuggets that are typically found in clay deposits.
毫无疑问，Sonoran Gold绿松石在过去几年在欧美市场变得非常受欢迎。我这次为大家先上一款最近美国客户非常喜欢的一款充满活力的绿色 Sonoran Gold。
Sonoran Gold 受欢迎归因于其以下特点：
独特的产地：Sonoran Gold绿松石产自墨西哥Sonoran沙漠地区，靠近卡纳尼亚市（City of Cananea)。它相对较新的市场存在以及与特定地点的关联使其对那些对独特和地域特定宝石感兴趣的人具有吸引力。
引人注目的颜色：Sonoran Gold绿松石以其充满活力和引人注目的颜色而闻名。它呈现出水蓝色、酸橙绿、明亮的绿色，甚至是双色的蓝色和绿色组合。这些迷人而鲜艳的颜色使它在其他类型的绿松石中脱颖而出。
金色基质：这种绿松石还展示出金色到褐色的基质。明亮颜色与温暖、泥土般的基质之间的对比增加了它的视觉吸引力和独特性。
可收藏性：收藏家经常寻找独特和稀有的宝石，Sonoran Gold绿松石独特的颜色、基质图案和有限的供应使其成为宝石收藏的理想选择。
就像大多数绿松石一样，这种绿松石很柔软，因此大多数都经过Zachary处理来稳定。Zachary处理 - 这是一种可以改善绿松石石头抛光能力的过程。此外，它也有改善石头颜色的潜力，但这并不总是如此。这种处理还有助于减少绿松石的多孔性。
最后，需要注意的一点是，这种绿松石不是以矿脉的形式开采，而是以个别的块状矿石的形式出现，通常在黏土矿床中发现。
