Native turquoise jewelry inspired to learn silversmithing in 1977……still love the color❤❤❤

What a wonderful docent. And what a cool display of history and turquoise. Very impressive! Thank you for this online tour. As a field archaeologist, 15 years of fieldwork in the southwest, I have run across turquoise only once...two light blue small round disk beads with a bit of light tan matrix under a sage brush on a pueblo II Hisatsinom site, and they are still there.

One pendant on my necklace is blue plastic, the rest natural turquoise. I had not valued my beautiful blue plastic pendant until now! Now, I love it! Thankyou. Wonderful presentation.

Very interesting! I love turquoise, but never knew how it was formed or that each stone can look so different or be a different hue. I would LOVE to visit!

the planning probably is taking a set of routers down at a time. It literally would take each segment time to react to the last segment, and so on until ‘end of the line’. Think of one server failing at a time, which makes the connect servers fail, and so on

[@katrussell6819]

What makes me very sad is that the artists were rarely paid fairly for their work and materials.

[@EgoEgeoNovaLocus]

what is the Si Rios turquoise you are speaking of? I'm not understanding and sure have misspelled. Excellent presentation!!!

[@bernicezappala7958]

I have a few pieces of jewelry that have a makers mark on them but I have no idea who they are. Is there a site with different artist marks and names?

[@stephenlokey6711]

sometimes it would be nice to see your stuff with the lights on!

[@UhMuthaFuckinVirgo]

What does the squash blossom represent? & Thunder bird too ?

[@hippiehillape]

squash blossom doesn't actually represent anything, it was literally the ring in the noses of the first horses native americans saw that the spanish brought with them... the small blossoms surrounding the center were tassle ends from the spanish officers uniforms

[@jennifers6435]

Have you seen a zucchini blossom?

[@hafifi7556]

I have green turquoise snake head.
