enturies ago, Persians,
Tibetans and Mayans
considered turquoise a gemstone
of the heavens, believing the
striking blue stones were sacred
pieces of sky. Today, the rarest
and most valuable turquoise
is found in the American
Southwest–– but the future of
the blue beauty is unclear.
On a recent trip to Tucson, we
spoke with fourth generation
turquoise traders who explained
that less than five percent of
turquoise mined worldwide can
be set into jewelry and only about
twenty mines in the Southwest
supply gem-quality turquoise.
Once a thriving industry, many
Southwest mines have run dry
and are now closed.
We found a limited supply of
C.
turquoise from Arizona and
snatched it up for our
Sedona
Turquoise Collection.
Inspired
by the work of those ancient
craftsmen and designed to
showcase the exceptional blue
stone, each stabilized vibrant
cabochon features a unique,
one-of-a-kind matrix surrounded in Bali metalwork. You could
drop over $1,200 on a turquoise pendant, or you could secure 26
carats of genuine Arizona turquoise for
just $99.
Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.
If you aren’t completely
happy with your purchase, send it back within 30 days for a
complete refund of the item price.
The supply of Arizona turquoise is limited, don’t miss your chance
to own the Southwest’s brilliant blue treasure. Call today!

“With depleting mines, turquoise,
the most sacred stone to the Navajo,

When the United States entered World War II, copper
quickly became a coveted material. Required for our
communications as well as munitions, every major
supply of copper needed to be turned over to the war
effort. That included the large supply of copper used by
the U.S. Mint to strike Lincoln Cents!
The Lincoln Cent is the U.S. Mint’s longest-running
series, sitting in the pockets and piggy banks of
Americans for more than 100 years. But for one year
only—1943—the Lincoln Cent was struck in steel-coated
zinc instead of copper. This unique, historic mintage is
now one of the most coveted in U.S. history!
Each 1943 U.S. Steel Cent is an authentic piece of World
War II History—an example of America’s dedication to
aiding the Allies and winning the war.
