Turquoise of the Southwest
Turquoise forms in only a few dry, copper-rich corners of the world, and the American Southwest is one of them. What comes out of each mine looks different, because the colour and the webbing are a record of the ground it grew in. Hover or tap a mine to see what its stone looks like.

Mine locations are approximate. Many of these mines are closed or worked out, so what is in circulation is what was already pulled out of the ground.

Turquoise in western dress
Turquoise has been worn in the Southwest for well over a thousand years, long before it turned up on a trophy buckle. Silversmithing came later, in the 1800s, and the combination of hand-worked silver and blue stone became the look people now read instantly as western.
What you are buying is a piece of rock that formed once, in one place, and will never be repeated. The webbing, the colour and the matrix are a record of where it came from. That is why a Kingman stone does not look like a Royston, and why the pair of earrings in the case is the only pair like it.

People come in for a hat and leave with a hat band. Turquoise is the thing customers pick up, turn over and hold to the light, and that is not something a photograph can do for you.
