    pam - iam sure there are many types of dyes and quite afew folks who
    know more about this than i do, but i work w/ this sort of thing alot
    and i have found markers in really nice varying shades of blue and or
    green have solved this problem for me on many occasions. After you
    get the color back by choosing a similar shade from the markers i
    bought at the dollar store sale table, if you want to be extra nice
    you can seal the piece with a nonyellowing clear coat. somtimes you
    have to add the color several times to get it to darken up. or you
    could chat the customer up and sell them up to a real piece of nice
    custom cut turquoise to make that piece of sentimental memory what
    they thought it was when purchased it and make a small but fair
    profit for your time and effort
