I was in town for a few days and wanted to buy turquoise jewelry. I arrived and was greeted by Bill, Monte and doggie Luna. Having looked at other shops in Abq. & Santa Fe I was familiar with prices. I walked out with a beautiful men's turquoise cuff and (for my wife) Sleeping Beauty Turquoise bracelet, necklace and earrings.
