Is this turquoise? It almost looks plastic. Inside it's marked Texco 925 TCR. It's completely opaque and solid in color with no variations.

There can be a lot of color variations in Turquoise. The pieces that I remember seeing usual was not one color over the hole piece. They would have some other shade mixed in.

I like the Jade idea myself.

Are you sure it is a stone and not plastic? I remember in the 70's there use to be a lot of fake Turquoise in heavy plastic and you tested by heating up a pin and seeing if it would go through the stone.

If it is Jade then it is a stone and the pin should not harm it. If you are worried about damaging the ring take it to a jeweler and they can readily identify the stone.

Taxco, look up those initials, if it is a famous maker there some of those pieces can be worth some serious $$$...
