The Turquoise Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico showcases the J.C. ‘Zack’ Zachary turquoise collection. The collection includes turquoise from over 80 locations around the world, several one of a kind pieces including the ‘George Washington Stone’ (a large turquoise stone with a remarkable resemblance to George Washington), and displays show that off almost every aspect of ‘The World’s Most Colorful Gem’. Energetic, entertaining, and informative tours are guided by a member of the Lowry/Zachary Family. Visitors often remark, ‘we should have come here before we went shopping’.
Join Turquoise Museum Curator Joe Dan Lowry on a tour of the amazing pieces he used in the development of museum displays. Start your tour with a sample cup of Joe Dan’s favorite coffee Turquoise Joe, then enjoy his engaging and entertaining tour of the Turquoise Museum Collection, conclude your visit with a cutting demonstration: where Joe Dan will show you how turquoise gets from the a blue rock, into a gemstone ready to set in jewelry.
