- This Turquoise section provides a wealth of information about the mysterious and often understood blue-green mineral.

Find out what natural Turquoise looks like and how to spot stabilized or block Turquoise. High Grade Turquoise, with proper color and hardness, may come out of the ground looking white, dusty and like any other rock. But, hard, natural Turquoise has the amazing ability to be polished, cut, and carved. That dusty, jagged Turquoise rock can turn into a shining bright blue jewel with just a few minutes under the right type of sander and buffing wheel.

- Today, Southwestern pottery made in the existing twenty pueblos in New Mexico and Arizona, and by the Navajos in Arizona, remains one of the greatest expressions of ceramic art in the world. The continuity of these Indian cultures is assured as long as their belief systems remain intact.
Native American Baskets & Rugs
Navajo Baskets, Papago Pima Baskets, Native American Rugs etc..

Native American Kachina Dolls
Navajo Kachina Dolls, Hopi Kachina Dolls, Shalako Kachinas, etc...
- Kachinas originate from the religious and spiritual beliefs of the Pueblo Indians, in particular the Hopi and the Zuni. Kachinas are spirits, often of animals, who carry the prayers of the people. During Kachina ceremonies and dances, the men who wear the masks and dress of these spirits are also called Kachinas because it is believed that they become the spirits of the Kachina. Kachina ceremonies take place during the first half of the Hopi religious calendar from winter solstice to mid-July. There are five major ceremonies, lasting nine days each. Most of these ceremonies and dances are held in the underground Kivas where only the initiated may see them.
Native American Paintings, Sketches and Sculptures
- Paintings & Sculptures have been a part of society since prehistoric times. The first paintings were made about 40,000 years ago. They are the most ancient of the Native American arts, pre-dating their arrival to the new world. Used to commemorate big hunts, storms, ceremonies, births, and deaths every painting and sculpture told a story.
Native American Dreamcatchers
- Originally the Dream Catcher was hung by the window or at the head of your bed. The bad dreams get caught in the web and the good dreams work their way through the hole in the center, rest on the feather like a dew drop, and evaporate to the Great Spirit in the morning sun. The prayer beads on the Dream Catcher trap all the bad dreams that are left on the web. The prayer beads burn them up. There are many variations to the story of the Dream Catcher with different tribes.

Sterling Silver
- Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925. Because pure silver is so soft, it should only be used when malleability is required, such as in handcrafted jewelry featuring weaving and other intricate designs. High-end Silver jewelry is often.
Silversmithing
- A silversmith is a craftsperson who makes objects from silver and/or gold. The terms 'silversmith' and 'goldsmith' should be treated as synonyms: as the techniques, training, history, and guilds are or were largely the same. Silversmithing is the art of turning silver and gold sheetmetal into hollowware (dishes, bowls, porringers, cups, vases, ewers, urns, etc.), flatware (forks, spoons, knives, etc.), and other articles of Household silver.
