highly recommend for anyone who's interested or sells this jewelry i had bought this book to learn more about turquoise jewelry and find out more about prices, mines, and the different rocks. i found a ton of information in these books! highly recommend for anyone who's interested or sells this jewelry. i will however say that the prices (even though i wish they were still worth that much!) are a little off as this book was published awhile ago just as a heads up.. "If you are just starting out with turquoise it would be a good place to start" according to Singer. There was not enough information in this book for me as I have many others for reference. If you are just starting out with turquoise it would be a good place to start.. GOOD Lots of nice pictures. Too bad the sudden dip in the economy makes most of the prices irrevelent. I wish things were still worth the prices quoted within.
