<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 259929, member: 55&quot;]I&#039;d agree with AnyJewelry.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some types of turquoise can be quite green, but this doesn&#039;t look like turquoise to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve also heard that blue turquoise can become greener if worn where it can absorb skin oils.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; A good way to learn about such things, and how to distinguish real from fake, and good from bad, would be to visit a reputable shop or gallery carrying SW jewelry; or if there happens to be a museum exhibit of SW jewelry.</p><p>&nbsp; (A few years back the Vancouver Art Gallery had an exhibit featuring both Northwest Coast and SW native jewelry; two subjects that are not often featured together.&nbsp; Not only was it astonishing to see the quality of the best contemporary artists from both worlds, but in spite of the very different styles, the artists approached their subject in very much the same way.</p><p>Written and recorded statements from the artists of both areas showed the same concerns with cultural integrity, the interplay of tradition versus innovation, and the transmission of skills from one generation to the next.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
