Where can I get Turquoise nuggets ? Large ones, like Sleeping Beauty, Kingman, etc ? My shop burnt down due to arsenist activity and I had 5 gallon buckets of these and other turquoises. I used to trade with Navajos who would bring me buckets of each kind and cutting tailings of mixed turquoises. I stashed them back for retirement jewelry work and nothing survived the fire which was intense. I don't know how to get in touch with my old contacts in NM. I lived there for about six years and moved back out east to NC and that is where my state of the art jewelry studio burnt down. Any help you could offer in this would surely be appreciated. No doubt you are in Arizona in this video. Well, I hope you do well. I miss my lapidary and smithing tools. I am too old to rebuild but can get it together enough to bring back the joy in creativity. Take care now !
