NOT turquoise. Dyed rocks (poorly).
I didn't realize that these are not turquoise. They are just dyed to look like turquoise (also the dye job kind of sucks). That might be fine for some people, but I planned on crushing them and using them for inlay. The dye is only on the exterior surface. I looked up howlite and discovered that it is a type of porous white rock with black webbing, so when dyed it looks very similar to turquoise. I think the product listing should say "imitation turquoise" just to make it clear.
