Many players mistakenly think turquoise can be soaked for maintenance. But stones that have already developed a patina should never be worn in water — take them off for showers, swimming, and rain. Over time, oils fill the pores and form a stable patina layer. Sudden exposure to water disrupts the internal oil‑water balance, dilutes the oils in the pores, and causes mottling or white patches — undoing months of careful handling. Only untouched raw stones can be briefly rinsed. For finished pieces, keep them away from moisture and wear them steadily — that's how you get an even, translucent patina.
