Hey catlady, I love tourquoise too, when we go to Cottonwood in our little travel trailer we always go to Sedona, I come home with something tourqouise, my wedding ring is tourquoise, I married 5 years ago after my former husband of 50 some years died of cancer,I took my husband 's mothers ring for my ring , It gets me plenty of compliments too, I see plenty of tourquoise in the sky, gold and red in the sunsets and purple in the mountains, Black and tourquoise is absolutely beautiful, I am going to make a very large black and tourquoise wall hanging with pots, lizards ,cactus ,flowers ,and who knows what else or what other colors will go into it
