Great video. As a turquoise mine owner/operator/cutter, the grading and pricing is no easy task. People have not been truly informed about what goes into finding natural turquoise that is high grade, and how rare it truly is. Keep up the videos Mike.

Well I am doing my part to tell the accurate history of turquoise in America and present entertaining and informative videos. An informed consumer is a better customer but only for the reputable vendor. There are some interesting videos coming up.

What you say is very true Mike! Buy only from miners or reputable dealers, or Buyer Beware!

First thing I do is find someone like yourself and listen! Now that I have I'm rolling with yard sale and thrift shops...if I know what I'm looking at that's half the battle

Great video which is starting to answer some of the questions I have, being a very new buyer of turquoise. It brings up a question though, for someone like me who loves turquoise, but has a very small budget to work with, like maybe $150/month, what would you recommend I purchase, jewelry, tumbled or polished nuggets/stones, cut cabochons or finished beads?

Buy what you love. The best value is in the higher grade so I recommend quality over quantity.

Hi Mike, last year, I believe you did a video on Persian turquoise and included a link to a reputable seller who has a minor his wife has a mine from her family in Iran. Is it still possible to buy from that dealer and do you have that contact information and link still? Thanks.
