Although turquoise is closely linked with Egyptian culture in scholarly and popular perceptions, it was, in fact, a rare commodity in ancient Egypt. From the sands of the Sinai Peninsula comes a gem as captivating as Egypt itself—Egyptian turquoise. Revered for thousands of years for its vibrant color and unique history, Egyptian turquoise continues to capture imaginations just as it did in the days of the Pharaohs.
