Oh my yes....
Turquoise
is
ART
and to wear it or decorate with it is one the most fascinating things a person can do
what I love most about it?
it is from the earth
Turquoise is a mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formula CuAl6(PO
4)4(OH)8·4H
2O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue.

An old library book and a gift from my turquoise loving friend
(I found this glass stone in our yard under the pine straw)
my copper vessel has tarnished and shows flakes of turquoise
the rock is from Sedona, Arizona and another gift from my friend
as I fill it with water to float candles...and it evaporates...
I find the most wonderful patina left behind
I have this throw over my white sofa but during a recent visit
my sister took it off and threw it around her shoulders
hmmmm.
this antique shawl with brown leather boots?
INDEED!
jeans and what to wear with it?
a girl should have at least one-- if only one--
squash blossom
(or some other statement piece)
turquoise and pearls?
turquoise and gold?
shake your head yes with me!
what a hot mess!
to dig through
lovely!
The Kingman Turquoise Mine is one of the oldest and highest
producing Turquoise Mines in America. It was originally discovered by
prehistoric Indians well over 1000 years ago. Kingman Turquoise is known for its
beautiful sky blue color and produces many variations of blue Turquoise. The
Kingman Turquoise mine also produces green Turquoise from the Turquoise Mountain
side of the mine. Kingman Turquoise has been the biggest supplier of Turquoise
to the Southwestern Turquoise
Jewelry industry for nearly as long as the American Turquoise Jewelry industry has existed. In
fact, the Kingman Turquoise mine was once part of a Turquoise boom around 1000 AD when the Mayan culture
was using a lot of Turquoise for self adornments and ceremonial items.
and if you aren't wearing it
put it on your coffee table
or rest your pretty little head on it
or stack it on your old pine table
or your old oak table
and when you hit the estate sales and find
stuff
gorilla glue it on a belt buckle and
wear it to an art walk...then...
hang out with the man with the biggest bolo
the most artistic thing you can do with it is surround yourself with it
art
I swear!

A couple of years ago I went to a Turquoise museum in Albuquerque and learned so much. But it was a little intimidating, too. Your turquoise pieces are gorgeous. I also love that turquoise throw/shawl!
I'm going to wear my turquoise watch today! The side door on my brick house was painted a turquoise color this summer. (Blue Spa) Love it!
Love love the color of turquoise. And that is one big daddy of a bolo!
When I was in Sante Fe many years ago, I bought a little ring as a memento. I'll have to dig it out and start wearing it again. Love jeans and turquoise jewellery - such a classic casual look.

Good morning Gina! I LOVE TURQUOISE and I could kick myself for not having kept my collar from when I was in high school in the 70s....I can't remember the name of the style of the necklace, but it was comprised of cylinder shaped beads in turquoise that had thicker ones in the center then gradually the beads became thinner at the ends...I have to find a photo but I loved that necklace.
Have a super day! Anita
