2. Types of Turquoise We Offer

Our collections may include:

• Natural Turquoise – Mined turquoise that has not been treated beyond basic cutting and polishing.

• Stabilized Turquoise – Genuine turquoise that has been enhanced with a clear resin to improve durability.

• Composite/Reconstituted Turquoise – Turquoise fragments that have been bonded together with resin for a uniform look.

3. Ethical and Transparent Practices

• We do not claim our turquoise is Native American-made unless it is verified and created by a recognized Native American artisan.

• We do not use tribal names such as “Navajo Turquoise” or “Hopi Turquoise” unless the product is directly associated with an artisan from that tribe.

• We ensure that all descriptions accurately reflect the turquoise’s characteristics to the best of our knowledge.

4. Customer Inquiries & Verification
