Turquoise is generally found to be opaque, although semi-translucent varieties do exist; however, the opaque variety is more commonly used. It is deep sky-blue in color. The popularity of its hue is evident from the fact that the color 'turquoise' (firozi) is named after this very gemstone. Since turquoise is not very expensive, it is best worn in a larger size. Most people wear it in a bracelet. It is highly recommended for those involved in the stock market or commodities trading, as it is renowned for bringing unexpected financial gains.
