The World's Turquoise

A home to turquoise and its copper-born kin from beyond the familiar mines of North America and China — stones that carry the dust of older, farther places. From the Sinai, where ancient miners worked some of the oldest turquoise diggings on earth, to the Peruvian Andes, where the same vivid blue-greens rise out of old copper country, these are the world's turquoise: many lands, one unmistakable color.
