How do I tell the difference between stabilized turquoise and non-treated turquoise?
In our shop, beads made from stabilized stone will always have an (S) in their title. Also it will be mentioned in their detailed product description. In general, stabilized beads are cheaper than non-treated beads, so you can often tell the difference by comparing the pricing. Non-treated turqouise will change colour with wearing and over time, becoming more greenish, this is one of the charms of the stone. Stabilized turquoise will not change colour.
