She creates beautiful overlaid shells, and specializes in inlaid jewelry, continuing many Waylan Peaker designs.Cerrillos Turquoise History:The Cerrillos Turquoise Mines, located 20 miles south of Santa Fe, are the oldest and largest prehistoric mines in North America. Anasazi mining activity dates back to about 500 A.D. Pueblo Indians mined Cerrillos turquoise extensively and traded it with many other cultures. Cerrillos turquoise was part of a sophisticated trade route. Sea shells and other exotic items were carried vast distances to trad for this "Sky Stone".Cerrillos turquoise is in the Crown Jewels of Spain. In the late 1800's Tiffany & Co extracted milions of dollars worth of Cerrillos turquoise from these mines. Our mine produces turquoise that varies in color from pale blue to deep emerald green. Cerrillos turquoise is some of the finest and most rare turquoise available.
