BuckEye Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Here is a Persian turquoise I found last week. The nine is outlined in a great different color or two colors. It runs deep and is dark. I have another one like this and I think it's the oils from the rollers perhaps. But, upon closer inspection there is a thin line of red ox on the surface. Is this the Persian oxblood which is only speculated to exist or just a really cool mfc? Thoughts? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have seen several with a very Fine line of accidental Oxblood. One had it in the 9 and was very attractive. I wouldn't call them Persian Oxbloods but they are very cool. The stuff in that marble also looks very accidental to me.(can't see the Oxblood?)

BuckEye Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah i think its oil on the inside, fine line of ox on the outside, hard to see though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
