Thanks

I wish Mexico and the US were rejoined because we're all one people. I'm Choctaw and my tribe is very close to the Mexican peoples.

I have Mexican Turquoise jewelry that I purchased in 1975 inEnsenada, Baja California when I was a teenager. Nice deep blue 💙 stone with gorgeous spider web matrix. It's set in sterling with the rope around it and a feather of to the side. It's not stabilized. It's a very nice piece.

Perhaps it is from the Evans mine which is in Baja.

@@turquoiseinamerica3164most welcome, happy to find your channel. Entered lapidary arts as a teen and cut up until a couple years ago. Will keep watching you :)

Mike thank you for this information. If I remember correctly there is a mine in Baja California that produces green turquoise. I just did a quick search it's called Evans worth looking at. Take care my friend Danny

[@turquoiseinamerica3164]

Evans was covered in Part Two. I should have mentioned it in this video but there has not been much production recently to my knowledge. Thanks for the input.

Hi Mike. I was in Tequisquiapan, Mx in 2017/2018, and I purchased a fairly large piece of very pretty turquoise/aqua blue rock at a small market (it looks very, very similar in size and color to the large "nugget" (bolder) of turquoise you showed in this video, but the matrix is more golden in color). I don't believe it's been treated at all, as it's fairly soft and isn't a slab. It looks like an older piece of Turquoise Mountain (Kingsman?) turquoise that I've seen in other videos. How would I find out for sure what kind of mineral it is (turquoise, chrysocolla,??)? I'm wondering if I should stabilize it so that I can make some jewelry pieces from it or if it would be worthwhile selling it as it is. Could you give me some pointers, please? Thanks so much. Sandy

Lab testing is the only true proof.

[@babyhuey_4293]

Are you going to do a video on New Mexico turquoise?

[@turquoiseinamerica3164]

Great idea.

Just remembered that there is a video on the Blog from August 2021 on New Mexico turquoise.
