Roughly halfway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe “Cerillos” refers to a handful of small turquoise mines in the greater Cerillos area. Turquoise has been mined in the Cerillos area for at least seven hundred years. Cerillos rarely –if ever– displays the stunning blues of some of the better known Arizona and Nevada mines. Nevertheless it is a significant collectible because of the long history of human use of Cerillos turquoise.
