The Great American Turquoise Rush was the period of the largest concerted effort to mine, process and market turquoise in the history of the United States. It started when traditional markets for the clear sky blue Persian turquoise closed and the east coast jewelers, who controlled the jewelry trade in the United States, were forced from necessity to reappraise the quality of turquoise from the southwest. The efforts to control this new market were begun in New Mexico but would expand into other states. This is the true story of that time, largely forgotten or remembered only from oral tradition.

Turquoise in America Part Two continues the story of turquoise presented in The Great American Turquoise Rush, 1890-1910.. It begins with a shift from investment of east coast jewelers making and selling Victorian-style jewelry to east coast, Midwest, Canadian, and European customers, to Native American jewelry produced by traders contracting with local artists and Native American art dealers operating in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Gallup, New Mexico, and later, in Scottsdale, Arizona, and selling to a growing tourist trade. The story follows successive periods of development in Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
