Understanding how to properly treat and care for turquoise is key in maintaining its vibrant colour and value. One common question that many turquoise enthusiasts have is whether they can soak turquoise in water during its cultivation process. This blog post delves into this subject, providing insights on when to and when not to soak turquoise.
Turquoise, with its beautiful, heavenly hue, has long been a favourite among gemstone lovers. It's often used in jewellery and ornamental crafts. However, the question of whether or not to soak turquoise in water can be a tricky one, as it depends on several factors. These factors include the quality and type of the turquoise, and the overall purpose of soaking.
Starting with the first factor, quality of turquoise, it is strongly recommended not to soak high-quality turquoise in water as it can lead to discoloration and a potential loss in value. Low quality or artificially coloured turquoise can withstand immersion in water better, but long-term soaking might eventually damage the stone.
The type of turquoise is another important factor. Some types are more porous and therefore might absorb water quickly, which can result in alterations to the color and overall structure of the stone. Others are less porous and can resist water absorption for longer periods of time.
In terms of purpose, if the purpose is to clean turquoise, it's advisable to use a soft, damp cloth instead of soaking the entire gemstone in water. This is because prolonged contact with water can cause damage over time.
Overall, the general advice to turquoise owners and cultivators is to avoid soaking the gemstone in water, especially for long periods of time. Instead, look for other methods to clean and care for your turquoise that are less likely to result in damage to the stone. Always remember to handle your turquoise with care to maintain its beauty and value. But remember, soaking them might do more harm than good.
