| Stabilized Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Stabilization is the most advanced and sophisticated method of treating Turquoise. Due to the natural changes in color of soft turquoise when it is originally mined, several processes have been developed to stabilize the beautiful color of this stone. First, turquoise is put into a stabilizing compound (clear resin or clear epoxy); then the stone is saturated with this compound; finally, the stones are ready to be cut into beads, cabs, etc. No dyes or color enhancements are used. This process does not alter the turquoise properties or appearance. Therefore, we can say that stabilization enhances the Turquoise stone's hardness and durability and helps to keep the original color from changing with wear and age. |
