Purple turquoise rings bring an unexpected color variation to this copper-aluminum phosphate mineral. The purple coloration occurs when turquoise forms alongside phosphate minerals like apatite, or when specific trace elements alter its typical blue-green chemistry. We carry 36,647 purple turquoise rings in .925 sterling silver, priced from $6 to $6,302. Each ring features natural stone with the characteristic waxy luster and 5-6 Mohs hardness that turquoise collectors recognize. Free shipping to all US addresses.

What Makes Purple Turquoise Different From Blue Varieties
Purple turquoise remains rarer than its blue and green counterparts because the geological conditions for its formation occur less frequently. Most purple specimens originate from specific mines in Nevada and Arizona where the mineral composition of surrounding rock influences final coloration. The Mojave Desert region produces notable purple material, though Chinese mines have also yielded specimens with lavender to deep violet tones. Our sterling silver settings protect these softer stones while allowing full visibility of their natural matrix patterns. Turquoise rates 5-6 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for rings worn with reasonable care. The .925 silver standard means 92.5% pure silver alloyed for durability. Many of our purple turquoise rings show the web-like matrix lines that form when host rock intermingles with the turquoise during formation. SilverRush Style has specialized in natural stone jewelry since 2005.

How do I care for a purple turquoise ring?
