It's really not surprising that turquoise seems to be some raw materials, quality primitive, like turquoise was one of the first stones ever worked by man - he has been kept for thousands of years. It is gentle enough to be shaped, polished and shaped jewelry with simple tools - hence its use from the earliest moments of human civilization.

Handcrafted turquoise jewelry seems to have lasting beauty and a raw, primitive quality. Even if a bright blue shadow comes to mind for most people, turquoise comes in a wide range of colors from a bright green, blue light greenish tone royal blue.

Turquoise is an investment that does not need to be locked in a safe, because you can enjoy your jewelry that you wear. The tides of fashion have turned in recent years, and the beautiful blue and green turquoise is again return to the mainstream. Trend magazines placed once more regularly turquoise and well known entertainment personalities use accessories to their wardrobes. Most people who collect turquoise jewelry organize their collections on two concepts:

Some collectors specialize in the works of well-known American artists; often try to specialize in a few artists, and the collection of several examples of their work. Others include the work of British artists who have been trained in ways to make Indian-style jewelry. Other artists are also of interest, as some can be very successful in their profession. It is also true that while most turquoise is mounted in the Indian style silver jewelry, there are also beautiful turquoise jewelry classic contemporary.

2) The second concept is to collect the stones of turquoise mines American desert southwest. There are many American turquoise mines spread throughout the southwestern United States, primarily in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, but also in Colorado and California.

For example, some mines in Nevada are known for their spider web patterned turquoise, and the collector May seek turquoise from the mine, which shows that the trend in the most attractive.

Probably more than any other gemstone, turquoise has been subject to ups and downs of fashion in fashion. This has been true for over a century the United States, the first increase in demand coming in the early 1890s. Those of us who are old enough, when we remember turquoise is really fashionable and popular during the years 1960 and 1970. At that time, strong demand resulted in a sharp increase in prices of turquoise, and a lot of turquoise was mined in Nevada. Turquoise's popularity has declined somewhat in the 1980s, but it has been increasingly popular in recent years and is poised for another return. Many fashion magazines have recently turquoise jewelry.

There was a run on turquoise rough the last two years in Tucson shows the famous jewel. The price of crude is more and more - in fact it’s very difficult to buy high quality natural raw turquoise.

By Of course, if you ask a geologist, you will learn the history of turquoise dates back nearly forty million years! But that's a story for a different article. Historical records suggest that the turquoise was extracted from the Sinai Peninsula by the ancient Egyptians around 4,000 BC.

It is believed that turquoise comes from the French phrase which translates roughly to Turkish Stone. The only explanation for this source is that Europeans mistakenly believe the turquoise is found in Turkey. Although turquoise may have been purchased in Turkey, the stone was found probably in the Sinai or Persia. Turkey in fact has had and has only very small deposits of turquoise.

In North America, turquoise was first discovered by the native tribes over eleven centuries ago. The first mining operations were conducted in Cerrillos, near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
