<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 120079, member: 23&quot;]I have a small collection of turquoise jewelry that my ex-husband bought.&nbsp; Put away in a safe deposit box so my second husband doesn&#039;t stress, not that he would.&nbsp; Anyway, we bought it from a friend who traveled to Arizona every year to buy lump turquoise.&nbsp; We got to see the whole process from start to finish.&nbsp; We also bought some older, genuine pieces that he brought back.&nbsp; Much of what we buy today is from the Middle East.&nbsp; A lot of less expensive turquoise is made from real, but lower quality stone that has been injected with dye to make it a richer color and then a fixative.&nbsp; Then there is just plain fake turquoise.&nbsp; Unless you&#039;re dealing with someone you know and trust, it&#039;s a crap shoot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
