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.
The color that is made from mixing purple and turquoise together is a mud-like brown. Since both purple and turquoise are already mixed colors themselves, they cannot make any colors that are not muddled.

Turquoise forms when water containing copper minerals percolates through rocks. The value of turquoise mixed with copper ore would depend on the quality of the turquoise, the amount of copper present, and the overall aesthetics of the specimen. Generally, well-formed, high-quality turquoise specimens with visible copper mineralization can hold significant value to collectors and jewelry makers.
The scientific name for turquoise is "copper aluminum phosphate." It is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum.
Turquoise is made up of a hydrous phosphate ofÊaluminum and copper and sometimes other minerals such as alunite, pyrite, limonite, phosphorus and apatite.
Turquoise is composed of copper aluminum phosphate. It gets its characteristic blue-green color from the presence of copper, while aluminum and phosphate are also essential components in its composition.
Turquoise is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, so it is usually formed in veins. It forms when acidic water dissolves copper and aluminum along with the other elements in turquoise and deposits it all in a vein slowly over time to create masses of turquoise.
