Summary:

If someone had to pick a symbol of New Mexico's timeless quality, turquoise would rank right at the top. The mineral enthralls modern man just as it charmed the Anasazi who lived in the great stone structures of Chaco Canyon. Even insects at the ancient site, ants in particular, have fallen victim to its allure. There is also a captivated audience eager to share in the magnetism of turquoise whose origination isn't geologic in nature, but, surprisingly, plastic. The Allure of Turquoise touches upon many aspects of the much-celebrated crown jewel of New Mexico. Share in the secrets, charms and visual beauty of the stone that has deservedly become synonymous with New Mexico.
