    Yellow Turquoise, Hard (-064) aka Flower Jasper, Flower Turquoise,
    Chinese Howlite The harder version of the two stones known as "yellow
    turquoise," this stone is more likely a jasper or serpentine.
    However, we don't think this stone is dyed or enhanced. It is yellow
    with brown, green and red, much more varied than the dyed Hubei
    product (below). 

    Yellow Turquoise, Soft From China's Hubei province, this soft stone
    is a natural turquoise but is usually dyed to achieve its deep yellow
    hue. We also believe it is wax-treated to harden the surface, or
    possibly stabilized with a resin
