Good book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The definitive guide I've been looking for
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2014*

This book is a treasure trove of information on the legendary sacred stone of the Southwest. If you're interested in authentic turquoise jewelry, this could help you make an informed purchase.The photography is up-close and vivid and is used very effectively to make points and educate the reader.Content covers the varying hues of turquoise and their significance – and what makes turquoise considered "treated" as opposed to natural and gemstone grade. The authors explain the processes behind reconstituted, stabilized, enhanced, waxed or oiled turquoise and imitation turquoise.There are great descriptions of the output of the classic Southwest mines – with photos of their signature gemstones. There are also photos of Chinese turquoise, so you can see how easy it is to buy Chinese when what you want is Southwestern.There are discussions of turquoise with matrix – intrusions from the host rock that create desirable patterns like the sought-after spider web matrix.I was fascinated to learn that mine and matrix matter more than color in the value of turquoise.Of all the books on turquoise I’ve read,I found this one by far the most useful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
