Porcelain pine

Because the fracture is similar to the shell shape, the polished texture after polishing is very similar to porcelain, so it is named porcelain pine. Hardness between 5.5 and 6, is the hardest texture in turquoise, usually the color is pure sky blue, is the top grade in turquoise.

Green pine

The hardness is slightly lower than that of porcelain pine, usually between 4.5 and 5.5, and the color is from blue-green to bean green. It is a medium-quality turquoise.

Pine

It is called foaming, its hardness is below 4.5, and it can be infused with a knife. It is generally light blue to moon white, which is the finest quality of turquoise. Because this kind of surface is soft and loose, it is only useful to use a large piece of surface. However, manual optimization methods such as injection molding and wax injection are often used to improve its quality and appearance.

Wire pine

There are black limonite veins in the turquoise which are distributed in a network, which makes the blue or green turquoise appear as a turquoise species with black turtles, nets and veins. It is called wire pine.
