We have just completed this page on Turquoise Stones, it is fantastic and includes great photos of American Turquoise Cabochons along with extensive descriptions. John Hartman of Durango Silver Company has spent most of his lifetime mining, collecting, cutting and trading in American Turquoise, he is one of the few leading authorities in the world on American Turquoise and this page was written by John.

 

American Turquoise Stones and Cabochons

American Turquoise is known to be the finest on earth! In the past 25 years the Chinese have managed to put almost all American Turquoise Mines out of business by flooding the global market with inferior, cheap Turquoise - then dyed and treated chalk Chinese Turquoise, then dyed and resin treated Howlite (chalk) and now FAKE TURQUOISE MADE FROM CEMENT! - YES! LIKE YOUR SIDEWALK!!! Shame on you China!

American Turquoise will make a comeback as the Chinese did make a major global market for Turquoise and now the world will demand REAL TURQUOISE! We will go back to work and we will reopen our Turquoise Mines soon.

For the time being, there will be a shortage of REAL TURQUOISE and the price for natural Turquoise will be substantially higher in the future due to this fiasco. 

There are a few of us who do have high grade Turquoise - Durango Silver Company is one of them. We will continue to cut and supply high grade, natural Turquoise Stones and Turquoise Jewelry with authentic, natural, high quality Turquoise Stones.

Quality Turquoise Stones

Our family have spent the past 40+ years collecting, mining and cutting authentic quality American Turquoise and by now we really do know our stuff. We are open for consulting and acquisition of high quality Turquoise Stones and Turquoise Jewelry from the American Southwest for qualified buyers.
