Description
[Globe Pequot Publishing] In the American Southwest, turquoise is a highly prized gemstone with great cultural significance. Author Joe Dan Lowry is recognized worldwide as a leading expert on the subject, and Turquoise Unearthed: An Illustrated Guide is the definitive resource for rock hounds and serious collectors alike. Lowry describes the fascinating history of turquoise mining in the American Southwest and reveals the astonishing variety of colors and forms that make this a gemstone like no other. Among Native American peoples of the Southwest, turquoise is especially prized, with blue stones symbolizing "Father Sky" and greener ones evoking "Mother Earth." This lavishly illustrated volume also features some of the finest examples of antique and contemporary Southwest Indian turquoise jewelry.

I love how the artwork is from the original movie. It gives this story and the others a sense of timeliness.

This is a GORGEOUS journal. Photo doesn’t do it justice - the cover’s printed on foil paper making the art extra dreamy. Looking forward to ordering more of the Bodleian products
