Turkenite Chip Elastic Bracelet

Description

Vibrant Color, Natural Foundation

This Turkenite chip bracelet offers the striking turquoise-blue tones so many love, while being crafted from natural howlite that’s been dyed to enhance its color. Each irregular chip bead adds texture and organic appeal, making it a versatile accessory for casual or boho-inspired looks.

What is Turkenite?

Turkenite is dyed howlite, a porous white calcium borosilicate mineral often veined with gray or black. Because of its absorbent nature, howlite can be dyed vibrant colors, most famously turquoise blue. This makes it an accessible, stylish alternative to natural turquoise, while still retaining its own mineral heritage.

Geological Origins

Howlite forms in evaporite deposits, where calcium-rich solutions crystallize. It is primarily found in Canada, the United States (California), and parts of Mexico. While naturally white or gray, it becomes “Turkenite” when dyed, giving jewelry lovers the aesthetic of turquoise without the premium cost.

Symbolism & Metaphysical Properties

Even in dyed form, howlite carries strong metaphysical associations:

• Calm & Patience: known as a soothing stone that reduces stress and overactivity.

• Sleep & Mindfulness: often used to support restful sleep and meditation.

• Creativity: the vibrant turquoise-blue color inspires expression and new ideas.

Wearing a Turkenite bracelet allows you to enjoy the symbolic calm of howlite alongside the uplifting energy of bold color.

Style & Occasions

• Casual Wear: pairs beautifully with denim, earth tones, or boho styles.

• Stackable Bracelets: mix with gemstone bead bracelets like jasper or aventurine for layered texture.

• Festival & Summer Fashion: the turquoise-blue look is timeless for warm-weather outfits.

• Affordable Gift: a thoughtful, budget-friendly option for friends or teens who love gemstone jewelry.

Comfort & Fit

Strung on elastic cord, this bracelet is designed to fit most wrist sizes comfortably. Chip beads give it a natural, earthy feel compared to polished round beads.

Care Instructions

• Gently wipe with a soft cloth after wear

• Avoid harsh cleaners or soaking, as dye may fade with prolonged exposure to water or chemicals

• Store separately to prevent scratches and maintain color vibrancy

With proper care, your Turkenite bracelet will remain a bright and uplifting accessory.
