🇺🇸 American Turquoise – Stabilization Methods We Use
At AJALKHABBAZ, we work exclusively with two trusted stabilization techniques for American turquoise: soaking and compression. These methods are carefully selected to preserve the stone’s integrity while enhancing its durability, appearance, and long-term value.
1. Soaking Stabilization
This technique begins with raw turquoise freshly extracted from the mine. The rough is first dried naturally under the sun, followed by hot air treatment to ensure all internal moisture is removed. Once fully dried, the stone is soaked in a stabilizing agent, which may include resin, acrylic, or beeswax, depending on the mine’s preferred method.
This process penetrates the pores of the stone, reinforcing its structure and helping to:
-
Increase hardness, making the stone easier to shape and polish
-
Protect the color from environmental changes such as exposure to oils, moisture, and chemicals
-
Preserve the stone’s natural beauty and prevent discoloration over time
2. Compression Stabilization
In this method, small turquoise chunks (never powder) are collected and compressed together under high pressure. Occasionally, bronze or metallic elements are added between the pieces to create a striking visual effect—mimicking natural golden veining or “roots” within the stone.
Compression stabilization produces a solid, durable rough that retains the character of natural turquoise while offering:
-
Enhanced structural strength
-
Unique aesthetic patterns
-
Long-term color stability
These are the only two stabilization methods we accept and work with. We do not deal with reconstituted turquoise, dyed powders, or outdated plastic-based treatments. Our commitment is to authenticity, transparency, and craftsmanship you can trust.
Additional Note: Natural turquoise that has not been fully stabilized will naturally change color over time. This is a normal and expected process. The stone can be affected by skin oils, environmental humidity, and everyday chemicals such as shampoo, perfume, or cleaning products. These interactions may cause the turquoise to shift in tone—often developing a greenish hue—especially in areas with frequent exposure. This behavior is part of the stone’s organic character and is valued by many collectors for its evolving beauty.
