Thank you for the video. It makes me appreciate turquoise (and other stones) even more.

I love Lapis Lazuli (has Pyrite in it) and Malacite! My birthstone is Turquoise. I've been to the Navajo Gift Store in Arizona. The gentleman that worked there was so kind. He gave me background on a piece I had purchased back in the 1970's (I was 16 when I bought my bracket and it has a stone about the size of a golf ball in diameter. It was a bracelet designed by a Navajo Artist that became famous in the Art and I bought it in Tennessee, but knew it was Arizona Turquoise). He also helped me select a piece of Pottery, a gift for a friend whom happens to be Navajo and had moved from Nevada (she worked for/with me and had moved to Arkansas to one of our other lications, she was originally from right there in Arizona, the store is at the highway but on the edge of their reservation. Public is welcomed there.) I selected a piece that was Traditional Pottery, he said the older ladies make it and most if the younger artist make a different style. I just felt she was longing for her home and the environment of her culture., so I bought the original style. It was a truly good experience, something far more than a stop and gift purchase. There is something that vibrates far higher in many of the Native Americans I've met and share time with. There's also something that I noticed over time working with my friend Martina. We really shared several common beliefs, traditions, and foods that are common in both our cultures. Although I was born in the USA my lineage is Irish, and particularly Southwest Ireland, County Kerry. After DNA studies in about 2017 it was revealed that the Irish, particularly the Irish from the areas of Kerry and Cork are of Basque origin. Due to the area there was far less influence of other bloodlines like the Vikings, Angle/Saxons, and Normans, the invasions and the various runs to rape and pilage. They were correct as revealed in our family's DNA. My Mother was 100% Irish, 2nd generation on one side and 5th on the other, my G-grandad founded Lynchburg, VA in the late 1800's. On my dad's side my grandparents were 1 - Irish/German and Irish/Native American Cherrokee, Tennessee. That resulted in my being overwhelmingly Basque-Irish with < 7% German, Ashkenazi Jew, Native American. Doubtful if I share any lineage with Martina, *BUT,* worth noting that, although few realize what DNA and Ancient DNA is revealing: (first a pinch of background, the Basque People are the most unique group on the planet in that their language match no other, no European influence and the Basque are over 70% Rh(-) blood type, the Irish in our area 30%, as I am as well. Basque Country is located between Spain and France in the Pyrenees Mountain Range area. Their Oral History indicates they are of Atlantea lineage. Atlanteans. Although Mainstream Academia doesn't accept Oral History as a recognized authentic resource many other Academics give it credibility and it will come to be known as fact, as various research continues to support the reality. I do credit Oral History as reliable and often far more than written histories. The DNA of our Basque lineage *"is found in some East Coast Native Americans" the Iroquois is one and I believe it was in several tribes that are now extinct, due to disease encountered with explorers. Thus, as far fetched as it may have seemed at the time, I've come to realize just how limited Mainstream Academics and their ideas about History are, and people with boats travel! Note: A find in Windover, Florida of burial in a big type area preserved several grave sites of a Native Peoples whom had European DNA in their mix and I haven't verified just what lineage but I would bet it is Basque aka Atlantean. Now I have degrees in Sociology, Journalism, and History, 5 years research in Ancient History, and current History studies through Yale University, plus I'm not the least bit bothered by the limited minds that accuse Authentic Academics of Psuedo-Science, I know what the findings are saying and how much History, Artifacts, Fossils/Skeletons, Oral Histories are ignored in order for Mainstream Academia to protect their Paradigm, so I know who is more Scientific and Ethical. The Native People are Authentic and their Oral Histories are Authentic, it is our lack of known facts and trouble interpreting the meanings that challenge the clarity. I just was moved to share this story today and if someone reads it I hope it inspires them to rethink their History knowledge and keep an open mind for the greater truths. We have some adjustments to make to be in the trier reality. ...and the Native Peoples can tell us what that is. Best Wellbeing to all... GO IRISH !!! 🍀

My favorite turquoise is teal or a stone with a gradient of electric blues with some sea foam green. I also love red and black matrix but I also think royston turquoise with the orange matrix looks like a photo of the earth and that’s stunning! Bisbee turquoise is very glassy but I don’t like matrix much. Or pyrite matrix. Birds eye and spider web is my favorite because it’s got incredible personality

Thank you for the helpful video. As a Bead Dealer I find it helpful to check the drilled holes on turquoise beads with a loupe magnifier for color changes. Turquoise can be lighter in the center where it is not polished, and where surface has been stabilized, but should not look white like dyed howlite beads would. The spider webbing in some turquoise is caused by iron based pyrite (fool's Gold), and looks a certain way, and if you look closely you might see tiny sparkles (also the sparkle in Lapis Lazuli). Dyed Howlite can be tested by using acetone (nail polish remover) on a q-tip in an inconspicuous area, which after vigorous rubbing will cause color to bleed off.

Excellent videos. More aids to help differentiate fake from real would be a good, high-power loupe and a hardness meter. Most fake turquoise, Howlite, magnesite, etc. are from 3-4 on the hardness scale. Turquoise is around 5-6. Every little bit helps.

I love this! I thought the purplish stone called Sugilite was interesting. I once had a pendant made of a stone that was called Sodalite. They were very similar in color. I also was given a silver clasp or broach that has a turquoise in the center. This turquoise has a few streams of what appears to be gold running through it. So beautiful, but I’m not so sure about it being real (natural). Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge about this very interesting subject.
