this is a back-up, I am a native american, and I make, surprisingly enough, turquoise and silver jewelry. I teach at a tribal college here in NW Montna. I am also the VP of the local lapidary group, the Hellgate Mineral Society. If you are ever on the area south of Flathead Lake, send me an e-mail and I'll show the area as best i can, I've only lived here most of my life. Hope that all is well with you.; -
