Quality Turquoise Jewelry

Quality Turquoise Jewelry Crisis!

Quality Turquoise Jewelry from the American Southwest is an important American Heritage - for Americans! as well as everyone who appreciates it - worldwide! The fact that American Turquoise has become scarce due mining conditions, restrictions and mining costs make us feel the need to share as much educational information about this subject as possible to the public.

There are several Native American Artisans and Jewelry manufacturers left at this date that have natural high-grade American Turquoise and are capable of creating exceptional Jewelry with it - believe me, they are diminishing quickly! Authentic Quality Turquoise Jewelry from the American Southwest has been in a crisis due to the importation of cheap Chinese Turquoise since 1985.

The Turquoise Crisis

 
This comment is not directed at the wonderful Chinese people who are good minded individuals - it is directed at the unscrupulous greedy businesses the feed on cheating and deceiving people to make a quick million. 
Quality Turquoise Jewelry from the American Southwest is quickly becoming a rarity!!! Many of the new comers to the Turquoise business cannot tell the difference between high-grade Arizona or Nevada Turquoise from fake Chinese Cement! Its true, the work on the Turquoise Trail is that Chinese factories are now producing fake Turquoise by using concrete, yes - as in your sidewalk! Just a couple of years ago we were dealing with them using Howlite and Magnisite, dying it and injecting it with plastic resins - they found it easy to fool the global public into excepting that and now they have taken it to the next step - Fake Turquoise made with pure Portland cement!
DIRTY ROTTON SCOUNDRELS!!!
 
The began by importing their real Chinese Turquoise to America at such low prices it put all of the American Turquoise Mines and Miners out of business. They then flooded the global market to create a worldwide awareness of Turquoise and then they began making fake Turquoise to capitalize on the Chinese marketing strategy
