About the stone: Turquoise

From far reaching cultures such as those of ancient Egypt, China, and Native American Tribes, Turquoise has been treasured for millennia. Turquoise only forms in dry barren regions where copper-rich groundwater seeps down and reacts with minerals containing phosphorus and aluminum. Whether a clear field of striking color or the unique patterns of matrix, it's a stone with clear presence.

Care
Turquoise can be damaged by acids, and it can be discolored by certain chemicals, cosmetics and even skin oils or perspiration. It’s safe to clean turquoise jewelry with warm, soapy water, but it should never be cleaned with steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Heat or solvents can damage the treated surfaces on some turquoise.
About the stone: Lapis Lazuli

Lazurite blue flecked with golden pyrite, lapis lazuli has symbolized celestial power for over 6,000 years. The source of ultramarine, one of the most prized pigments throughout art history. Each piece contains its own dreamy night sky.

Care
Lapis lazuli should be cleaned by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth or a mixture of lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Never submerge it, as lapis is a porous stone. Avoid ultrasonic machines, steamers, and harsh chemicals.
