Detail View, Modesto Turquoise Sculpture. cobalt123. Seen at the 2009 Tucson Rock and Gem Show, this stunning sculpture carved from a giant block of turquoise takes your breath away. Depicted is a Native American village, likely cliff-dwellers. There is a celebration going on with the figures but it looks as if the residents also are defending their homes. The entire piece measures about 2 1/2' long. The art is clearly marked with the artist name of Modesto and a date, 1992. #tuscongemshow Turquoise gemstone
