a little turquoise and silver before the rain.

Did a little bit of dirt fishing today before the rain started and rolled my plug over to find this little girl peeking at me. Looked up the hallmark and it was made in Albuquerque New Mexico from the Bell Trading Post company between 1930-1972. Hope everyone is doing well and happy hunting!

Congratulations on the ring. I bet it was made at an Indian reservation. Very cool find!

Sleeping Beauty? my Wife watches a guy named Jay King who makes silver and turquoise jewelry and sells it on QVC...He is very interesting to watch 'cause a person learns some things...

Anywhoo...i got wrapped up in his pitch last week myself..he was saying, Sleeping Beauty turquoise is in very high demand and bringing really high prices...I dont know if thats what you got there, but you should have it looked at by a jewelry who knows turquoise to be sure..Nice find! Report back here please, I'm curious...

Mudpuppy, When you wrote "Sleeping Beauty", I instantly thought the same thing about his turquoise stone. I've seen them talk about the "Sleeping Beauty" on there and it's quite interesting to listen to as you stated and I did learn a few things also.

Brandon, If you find out anything about it, please give us a shout. We're all curious now as to see if it is a "Sleeping Beauty". I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

My cousin is a jeweler I will have him take a look at it next time I see him.
