The color of turquoise ranges from white to blue. And the blues vary from powder blue to a sky blue. There are greens and blue-greens as well. The range of colors is seen in China as well as the U.S. and the Middle East - all areas where the mineral occurs. But the green color in turquoise is due to the presence of iron in it. And it turns out that a number of areas in China where turquoise is found are also places where iron is commonly found as well. The abundance of iron in areas of China where turquoise is found make a lot of the mineral green. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
