Our listings of Native American Jewelry may contain identification of
the turquoise used in its manufacture, i.e., Lone Mountain, Fox
Spider-web, etc. The turquoise mines of the Western States produce stones
with certain matrix and color qualities unique to that mine. While
this statement is generally true, this method of identification is not an
exact science; however, based on experience we have made reference to the
stones shown as accurately as we can.
