Résumé

Since ancient Egyptians did not have our knowledge of mineralogy, we would like to look into the way they considered turquoise and selected it among other gemstones -- especially lapis lazuli and malachite -- to please their kings and gods. We shall examine the sources relating to the provenance of turquoise and its storage in royal and divine compounds, with a particular focus on the inscriptions and reliefs found in New Kingdom tombs and temples.
