Here’s an eye-catching assortment of Native American necklaces (TEH 174, 192, and 201 thru 210) from the estate of the late Chester Howard. As founder of the Colorado Mineral Society in the 1930s, one shouldn’t be surprised that Howard would identify at least a few of the turquoise varieties that make up the beads in these strands: Red Mountain, Ruffan Mine, McGinnis Big Blue, and Pilot Mountain. In addition to turquoise, the beads in the necklaces include: shell, pipestone, varieties of glass, ...click for details
