Description: Vintage Chinese stabilized Turquoise Graduated Beads Necklace 10 1/2" when closed. (Ref. MP) Note : stabilization is a process in which a soft, chalk, low grade turquoise undergoes an impregnation that fills the porous areas with a colorless agent to enhance the stone’s appearance, luster, color and makes it harder and durable for use in jewelry. The mixing process involves waxes, resins, acrylic, liquid plastic and hardened polymers. Almost all of the natural turquoise available commercially today has been stabilized. As a result of the stabilization treatment, the turquoise becomes easier to cut and polish after being stabilized.
