HI Steve,

No secret. I use crushed Turquoise that I get from a couple sources. Treeline and Rio Grand Jewelry Supply. The trick is how to inlay the stuff and it is a trade secrete that no one will tell you...you have to develop it yourself. I have crushed stone of many types from Blue Lapis to Coral (a mineral, not the animal). The inlay technique is the same. But leaving it proud is also a technique. Here is a pix of various Ear Rings I make for give away...

From left to right. Lapis, Mother of Pearl, Coral, Jett, turquoise,Red white and blue patriotic.

These minerals are easy to find on line, but you need to specify Crushed...not powder... For Mesquite with the cracks and voids, I sometimes use a chunky green turquoise to be a filler to reduce the more expensive minerals above....however the green chunky Turquoise is useable.

Here is are a pair of earrings with the chunky green turquoise.

Treeline, https://treelineusa.com/, is your first stop for crushed material. Rio Grand is a Jewelry supply house and not for retail customers, but you might register if you wish...

I used these back when I still drank. Pretty cool, you can get them with many logos.
