In place of aluminum, iron as Fe3+ can be incorporated into the crystal structure (diadochy), hence the chemical formula is also often given as Cu(Al,Fe)6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. Turquoise crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system and is the eponym of a group of minerals with the same structure but different composition, the turquoise group, with the other members faustite, chalkosiderite, aheylite and planerite. In nature turquoise usually forms grape-like or earthy-mass mineral aggregates. Crystals visible to the naked eye are very rare and then only a few millimeters in size with a prismatic to needle-like habit. Its characteristic blue-green color is the reason turquoise derives its name. Turquoise is used exclusively as a gemstone for jewelry. Shipping as insured registered mail
