this is bits form a post in needle felting that drifted. I had thought turquoise used chrome to get the colour. I was wrong. Here are the posts about it and the interesting links. by luvswool: Here is one link which discusses chrome and dyeing: sonic.net/%7Edbeebee/IMDI_new/mordants.html Scroll down to read both opinions, one from Sweden and one from USA.
and then by me: I asked over on Paula Burches site. She answered in detail and explained about the 2 different chromes. The one used in premetalised dye( not turquoise though) and the one used as a mordant in natural dyeing. www.pburch.net/dyeing/blog/2015/04/08/do-turquoise-acid-dyes-contain-chrome/
if you know of a good resource then post below or just continue the discussion.
