Description

The Great American Turquoise Rush used to be the period of the most important concerted effort to mine, process and market turquoise within the history of the USA. It began when traditional markets for the clear sky blue Persian turquoise closed and the east coast jewelers, who controlled the jewelry trade in the USA, were forced from necessity to reappraise the standard of turquoise from the American Southwest. The efforts to keep watch over this new market were begun in New Mexico but would expand into other states. That is the real story of that time, in large part forgotten or remembered only from oral tradition.
