"Indian Turquoise" is a trade name to describe Green Sardonyx. The mineral Sardonyx is a combination of "Sard" and "Onyx" that has parallel banding. These stones range from 20 - 50 grams each and are usually around 1" - 2" inches in length. This is an excellent mix for all levels of rock tumbling and the various shapes and sizes of the stones in this mix lead to a great result in the rock tumbler.

The only thing i didnt quite like but isnt a huge deal is the different textures of the Indian turquoise/Green Sardonyx. Some is opaque and chalky some is transparent and soft. But the green colors mixed with the white will be beautiful when tumbled,i just need to look up tumbling recommendations for it. Fingers crossed!
A few good pieces were in the pound I bought. Where exactly is Indian turquoise found?
Very nice colors and can be tumbled with out a lot of stabilizing
The material was as described on-line. Good quality, color, and size. It was well packaged and shipped promptly. Very satisfied.
I have not got around to actually tumbling it yet. So, not sure how accurate this rating will be. I have plans to order more from your store further down the line, but I often just buy things when I find them if I haven't been able to find them in other places. So, Turquoise I had not seen anywhere, found it on your site and before you could sell out, I grabbed some. But I'll be back as I just found your site and love the selection.
