Turquoise is very popular among the Native Americans of the Southwest, Arizona and New Mexico desert areas. On a trip to Arizona and the Grand Canyon several years ago, I remember seeing vendor stands alongside the road, wherever there was a place big enough to set up their tents. Most of them were showing turquoise jewelry, as well as belt buckles, hair barrettes and other turquoise products made by the Indians. These Indians usually combine their turquoise jewelry with silver, in the form of silver beads or silver chain. It is a beautiful combination.
