Cool Pendant! The Persian turquoise I’ve seen are usually cut with high domes and have a chocolate like matrix. But there is great variation in quality from light blue to green with matrix to intense robin egg blue. I’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. Top quality Persian is very hard to find, it’s usually set in gold; and as you can imagine most of the best stuff stays where it’s mined because its also highly valued in Iran. The exception is I think when you buy antique Victorian or older jewelry with turquoise, that’s most likely Persian in origin, at least that’s what I believe.
