    First, that's a dyed stone, not turquoise. My guess is magnesite since the lines are brown. It gets sold as "dragon bone turquoise" sometimes. The bracelet could be from anywhere but probably somewhere in southeast Asia.

    What’s the giveaway of being dyed stone?

    In this case it's just experience. I've seen a lot of it. That brown veining is classic for magnesite, and I've never seen real turquoise with anything even similar.
