Description
PLEASE NOTE: This material is reconstituted Turquoise that is infused with smelted bronze and then dyed purple to create the unusual colour. This material is made from natural stones, but it is enhanced/heated/dyed to make a material that is not found in nature. There is nothing inherently wrong with enhanced stones. What's wrong is to misrepresent them as something they are not.
