What kind of turquoise is this..

Hello turquoise people. I am new here although I have been lurking in the background and reading different threads.
I have just purchased several turquoise cabochons and one in particular I am having set into a custom ring or cuff bracelet. I think it is very unique and i actually bought all of the cabs because i wanted this one.
Can anyone tell me what kind of turquoise and how you would categorize it. I think it looks like the silhouette of trees in the fall at sunset. I don’t know if it would be called webbing or not.
Many thanks for any help.

Welcome to the turquoise people board​:tada::tada::tada:

I would like to ask if you could take a picture of this cab in natural light outside for us and we could see the colors better and then maybe we could have a better answer to your questions. We would also love to see the rest of the pieces to! You can never see too much turquoise :heart_eyes:Thank you

You are probably going to have to pick between Royal Web (New Lander) and Chinese.

I think this is variscite, not turquoise. Straight lines like that aren’t really a characteristic of turquoise

It’s cool! It does look like trees with sunset coming through them. It would make a lovely pendant.

Yaaa! Thank you. I will certainly take a natural light picture. I just got the notice that my post had been approved, so I will have to catch some light tomorrow for better pics.

Thank you for the idea. I will have to look those up.

Here are some other cabs that came with the earlier one. As you can probablly tell, I have been playing with them and getting ideas for future projects. :grin:
If any of these are not turquoise, please point them out because I put up some money for them.
Thanks much.

So, I just happened to stumble upon a cab from seven dwarves mine in Nevada which is supposedly now closed. It looks very similar with the long vein matrix.
I think I will look into it a little more.
