The formation of a Turquoise stone is as fascinating as its benefits. These beautiful stones are formed by a chemical reaction when water containing specific minerals such as iron, copper and aluminium leak through rocks. In the presence of oil and water, these metals oxidize, forming a clump of turquoise. Scientifically speaking, Turquoise is Hydrate Phosphate of Copper and Aluminium, with the chemical composition CuAl6(PO4)4(OH).

Thereafter, one needs to pray to god and take the ring out of the mixture, and rinse it with pure gangajal.
