Turquoise is traditionallynan opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formula CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years. "copper turquoise" like any other mineral/crystal has had it's color affected by the proportion of minerals present when it was formed, and given that it is purple rather than the more usual light blue, it was no doubt given its color by higher levels of copper (the blue) and iron (the red) present. The color combined with the easily recognizable turquoise matrix can be quite striking and unusual.
