I've undone your recent edit to turquoise. Please don't remove reliable sources and replace them with commercial links. Vsmith (talk) 02:46, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

thanks.--Alpha Beta Gaga (talk) 12:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. However, the website you added just now is a tourism promotion site and not an WP:RS, further the site does not say turquoise is from Central Asia - rather from Persia, and that fact is already well sourced. Vsmith (talk) 12:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
