Feroza (Turquoise) with a Lab Report فیروزہ

In short: Much of the turquoise on the market is either treated or imitated, so a lab report on Feroza confirms natural turquoise and says whether it has been stabilised or dyed. It also exposes reconstituted material and imitations such as dyed howlite, glass, plastic and ceramic. Send us the link to any Feroza on WhatsApp and see the report before you pay.

A large share of the turquoise sold is treated or imitation. A lab report on Feroza confirms natural turquoise and tells you whether it has been stabilised or dyed.

Lab-certified listings will appear here as independent reports are added to individual stones. Until then, any stone can be sent for an independent report before you pay — ask on WhatsApp.

What a lab looks for in Feroza

  • Stabilisation: resin or polymer forced into porous turquoise to harden it and deepen the colour, which infrared spectroscopy detects.
  • Dye: pale turquoise coloured blue, plus dyed howlite or magnesite passed off as Feroza.
  • Reconstituted material: powdered turquoise held together with resin.
  • Imitations: glass, plastic and ceramic.

Asking for a report

Choose a stone from our Feroza collection and message us its link on WhatsApp. We explain the testing steps for that stone, and the report reaches you before you pay. You can do the same with lapis lazuli, Aqeeq and malachite. More on lab-certified gemstones.

Is a lab report included with your Feroza?

Not by default. Any stone can go for independent lab testing on request, and you see the report before paying.

What will a Feroza lab report show?

It identifies the stone, says whether it is natural or synthetic, and lists any treatment the lab can detect, with weight and measurements.

Ask us for more photos, a daylight video or exact measurements of any stone. We are in Karachi and reply the same working day.
