THE BEAUTIFUL GEMSTONE: TURQUOISE |
| Turquoise is a wonderful gemstone, and it makes for some really spectacular jewelry. Because we mine and market our own turquoise gems and silver turquoise jewelry, we want to provide you with basically everything you've always wanted to know about Turquoise (but were afraid to ask). There are a lot of questions related to turquoise and turquoise jewelry, and so to cover them with sufficient detail, we needed a good number of pages - the result is quite a database of information. Take a look at the topics listed here and you'll likely find just exactly what you wanted to know about the world of turquoise. | |

We share your love of turquoise and other gemstones and hope you have enjoyed reading these pages just as much as we have enjoyed bringing them to you. The natural blue and green beauty of turquoise is really a reflection of the primal beauty of the earth and sky. Maybe we're a tad bit biased since we own our Nevada turquoise mines, but we think the special qualities that so many folks see and appreciate in this fine gem are well justified. More than just a few people are starting to collect silver turquoise jewelry featuring natural gem quality stones, as it continues to be prominently displayed in popular fashion magazines. If you would like to see some photos of our Nevada turquoise mines, and get a feel for what a turquoise mine looks like out in the field, then take a look at our TURQUOISE MINE TOUR PAGE. If you'd like to see our silver turquoise jewelry, or just get a piece of natural Nevada turquoise for yourself, you can take a look here: TURQUOISE JEWELRY If you'd like to see some of the turquoise cabochons that have been produced from our mines, you can take a look at this page: TURQUOISE CABOCHONS |
