Turquoise, The Gem of the Centuries places emphasis on the turquoise itself rather than the jewelry. The jewelry pictured is of a simple design to better display the turquoise. The book includes discussion of the origin of turquoise, the different colors of turquoise, and the various turquoise mines in the Southwest. It also pictures the various southwestern tribes' techniques of turquoise jewelry making. This book is part of the Don Reynolds Collection.
