Advantages of Stabilizing Turquoise The simplest form of stabilization is to coat the surface of the stone with oil. This give the stone a bit of sheen, and to a very limited extent, blocks some of the pores on the surface of the stone. However, this treatment does nothing to improve the overall hardness and strength of turquoise. Furthermore, it is a provisional treatment at best, and as the oil wears away from use, the specimen regresses to its original state. This is the least luxurious form of stabilization and is now and then used on turquoise from Asian sources.
