Commercially, turquoise is one of the most challenging stones for jewelry production because it is so soft and brittle. Great strides have been made, however, in the treatment methods used to make turquoise more durable.  Here are the most common turquoise  found in today's marketplace:
GENUINE “NATURAL”:  Untreated turquoise with the same properties it had when it came out of the ground (soft, brittle, varying color shades, etc.).  Very little jewelry in the market actually contains “natural” turquoise (probably less than 1%).
GENUINE “STABILIZED”:  Turquoise that has been treated in various ways (heat, epoxy, and color dyes).  Most turquoise jewelry in the market is stabilized, including jewelry sold by all the major TV shopping networks, department stores, and jewelry retailers.  Even the highest grades of turquoise, such as Sleeping Beauty, are often stabilized for better jewelry production and wearability.
Other notes regarding Genuine Stabilized Turquoise:
1.      Turquoise may be color enhanced as well (i.e. purple, green, and other colors).  It is still the same material and therefore still considered genuine turquoise by industry standards.  Often referred to as "Mojave", "Composite", and "Compressed" turquoise.
2.      Smaller pieces of turquoise may be bonded together to form larger pieces.  The individual pieces are all turquoise; therefore the entire stone is still considered genuine turquoise.  Sometimes there may appear to be "cracks" in the stone but in reality it is where two pieces have been joined together (and piece is still structurally sound and stable).  The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) also refers to this as "Composite" Turquoise.  It is also known as "Compressed" turquoise since the pieces are joined together by high-pressure compression.
3.      Stones may be infused with copper or bronze, hence the copper color matrix you see primarily in the teal, purple, and green turquoise.
