The present work is an attempt to give a comprehensive overview of
turquoise and its role in Ancient Egypt. Turquoise was mined mainly
in Sinai, at Maghara and at Serabit el Khadim, where the stone
occurs in the sandstone rock. Ancient Egyptian mineralogical
studies have neglected turquoise, focussing instead on the study of
other minerals and metals such as gold, silver, and copper.
