About Turquoise Source

Built From a Lifetime in Turquoise

Turquoise Source was created from decades of involvement within the turquoise world through collecting, preservation, research, trading, and the continued study of turquoise as both a cultural material and a collectible gemstone.

The platform exists as a modern marketplace dedicated entirely to turquoise, bringing together collector-grade cabochons, rough turquoise, specimens, and historic material within a curated environment built for serious turquoise collectors.

From collector-grade cabochons and rare specimens to rough turquoise and historic material, Turquoise Source was built for people who appreciate turquoise for its rarity, individuality, history, and enduring fascination.

Family Legacy

The Turquoise Museum and Family Legacy

The foundation behind Turquoise Source traces back to the Turquoise Museum and the generations of work carried out by the Lowry-Zachary family within the turquoise world.

Through decades of collecting, cutting, trading, research, preservation, and museum development, the family built relationships with miners, collectors, dealers, lapidaries, and institutions connected to turquoise around the world.

Those relationships helped provide access to important collections, historic material, and prized reserves held within private collections across generations of turquoise collecting.

That experience helped shape a deeper understanding of turquoise history, collectible material, historic mines, lapidary traditions, and the continued evolution of turquoise collecting itself.

As turquoise collecting continued to evolve, so did the market surrounding it.

Modern Marketplace

Built around transparency, documentation, and access.

Collectors increasingly searched for greater transparency, stronger documentation, better presentation, and a marketplace built specifically around turquoise as a collectible gemstone category.

Turquoise Source was developed as a continuation of that larger effort, bringing together decades of collecting experience, museum preservation, collector culture, and access to significant material within a modern marketplace dedicated entirely to turquoise.

That same philosophy continues through Legacy Reserve, a collection built around exceptional turquoise selected for rarity, provenance, collector appeal, and long-term significance within the turquoise market.

For Collectors

A Marketplace Designed for Collectors

Turquoise Source was not built around mass retail.

It was built around collectors.

The platform focuses on carefully selected turquoise cabochons, rough turquoise, specimens, and collectible material presented within a structured marketplace environment.

Collection Structure

Organized by rarity, presentation, and collector appeal.

Legacy Reserve

Exceptional and rare turquoise selected for serious collectors.

Heritage Signature Collection

Premium turquoise chosen for balance, character, and enduring appeal.

The Select Collection

Accessible and beautiful turquoise selected with care and passion.

Together, these collections create a destination designed specifically for turquoise collectors seeking greater clarity, documentation, and access to quality material.

Preservation

Preserving the Future of Turquoise Collecting

Turquoise has long been valued for its cultural uses, and in recent decades has become increasingly appreciated as a collectible gemstone.

As that transition continues, Turquoise Source exists to help support the future of turquoise collecting through improved presentation, transparency, education, and collector access.

In addition to collectible turquoise, the platform also offers books, memorabilia, and branded collector goods connected to the broader story of turquoise.

Turquoise Source represents the continuation of a larger effort, preserving turquoise history while helping shape the future of turquoise collecting for the next generation.
