We are happy to make available to you a limited number of the Second Edition of Philip Chambless and Mike Ryan's meticulously researched story of the early days of American turquoise mining. Philip, a historian by training, did over 20 years of research, combing county records, first hand accounts, and more to uncover the real story behind Tiffany and the New York jewelers who tried to build and maintain a monopoly on turquoise mining in the West. This is a fascinating read and a must-have for any turquoise collector's library. This updated second edition is a large format hard cover, 10.5x8 inches.
Be sure to get the rest of the Turquoise in America story! We have soft cover versions available for Turquoise in America Part Two - 1910 to 1990. The third part of the story, Turquoise in America Part Three - Stories of Turquoise 1990 to 2020 is sold out, but you can download a digital copy of it from the Turquoise in America website.
I've added a few dollars to the book price to cover the shipping cost which has increased recently.
