I have a piece I'd like to get identified would u be willing to help me it's not set in jewelry it weights a lb

[@philipbaity7083]

A pretty shroud guess, but there are so many other mines this could have come from in that same time period...

[@turquoiseinamerica3164]

Yes. I would welcome your opinion. As I said the purpose of the video is to show a process rather than specifically identify the turquoise.

ñWow that was tough.....anytime I get some dark spiderweb matrix turquoise, I always just tell myself it's Chinese. After watching this, I shouldnt readily doubt my turquoise.

[@turquoiseinamerica3164]

For high grade dark web Chinese has become the de facto back stop for identifying turquoise. While China has provided much of this grade, there are many other suspects to be considered.
