where to buy crushed turquoise

[John Nowack]

do any of you know a good source to buy crushed/powdered turquoise? I have a chunck of sycamore that will need several cracks filled and I thought I would try dressing it up. Searchs online were harder than I thought it would be. nothing on the big auction site and the only retailer I found had it at $10 per ounce (thought that was high but maybe not)---as usual help is appreaciated

John, take a look at http://www.gilmerrockshop.com/servle...ock/Categories. I ordered turquoise from there once before and it was a good experience. Other than being a satisfied customer, I'm not associated with the company.

I also heard good things about Gilmer and I ordered from them yesterday. 16 oz of turquoise was $16 plus $5.25 shipping. (Yes, $4 per 4 oz bag) I will let you know how it goes when it gets here.

John, Colbaugh Processing will sell you floor sweepings, which is clean, unstabilized Turquoise nuggets. You can crush it yourself. Call (928) 565-4650, and ask for Josh Colbaugh. Tell him you need some floor sweepings. When I bought from him, it was $15 per pound, and they had a 3 pound minimum purchase. If you turn a lot, you'll use it. I traded away a couple of pounds of it, thinking I wouldn't need that much, and now am almost out again.
PS: If you want I'll post a pic of my Turquoise Crusher.

I also bought some different crushed stones from Gilmer Rock Shop when she had some ebay listings.

Great communication and she shipped it out Fast.




NO affilation, just also a happy customer.

[Steve Schlumpf]

John - just about every rock shop in the country carries turquoise, so, I would suggest calling around locally and seeing what is available.

[John Nowack]

I called and left a message----I would appresiate seeing how you crush the rocks

[Bernie Weishapl]

I'd like the see the stone crusher also.

This is about 6" square x 1/3/8" deep. The bottom and insert are made out of about 1/2" plate. The sides of the box are 3/16" thick, or so.
I've since turned a new handle for the hammer.
I place a few stones about marble size into the box. Place the insert on top, and knock the hound out of it, hitting the Railroad Spike knob.
Then I hit it all around, close to the knob, and pour it through a tea strainer. Took me about 15 minutes the other day to crush a baby food jar full.

Hello guys,
It seems like Gilmer is out of business. I could be wrong about this but there website seems to not be there any longer and their ebay store is no longer listed either. I' ve been try doing web searches for a while now and have not been able to get onto their sites.

Not many places to purchase the Turquoise crushed stone. Been searching but only found one or two places.

Robert I see that you ordered from them a few days ago. Interesting since i'm not able to access the ebay store or their web page. please advise how you ordered and if you ordered by phone?
