6mm green speckled jasper

African turquoise is not a true turquoise, it is a speckled pale teal jasper that has been mined exclusively in central parts of  Africa for thousands of years. It has hints of copper and iron webbing or spots. It is often color treated. 

 

Speckled teal jasper symbolizes necessary change, opening your eyes to new ideas and your true purpose, good luck, prosperity.  I would imagine it’s nickname to be African Turquoise. Since that’s how most layman know it.
