    Was going to respond yesterday but forgot -- If LOS or any of the
    others touch turquoise and I believe the others above are correct,
    too, it will instantly destroy the stone. It will go right into the
    pores and turn it yellow, and the stone will smell, too. As many have
    said, carnelian and many others are perfectly safe, though. Another
    on the "do not" list would be pearls.
