Turquoise Stones

Turquoise Coyote in Ponchatula, LA

MIDDENDORF'S RESTAURANT, MANCHAC, LA

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR LOOSE TURQUOISE STONES TO BUY I SELDOM RECOMMEND A SPECIFIC PLACE TO SHOP FOR TURQUOISE, BUT THE ONE PLACE I VISIT ABOUT ONCE EACH YEAR STANDS OUT. "THE TURQUOISE COYOTE" IN PONCHATULA, LA  IS THE PLACE TO GO.  YOU CAN FIND DIRECTIONS BY SIMPLY SEARCHING UNDER THAT NAME.  THE STORE IS SMALL AND OUT OF THE WAY AND YOU WILL FIND THE OWNER AND HIS WIFE AND STAFF EAGER TO ASSIST YOU IN ANY WAY.  THE PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE AND THE SELECTION OF TURQUOISE BEADS, STONES, AND FINISHED JEWELRY IS GREAT.  IF THE OWNER TELLS YOU THE TURQUOISE IS GENUINE YOU CAN BELIEVE HIM.  HIS WIFE IS ZUNI INDIAN AND HE BUYS MUCH OF HIS STUFF FROM THE ZUNI TRIBES IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST.  ITS REALLY WORTH A VISIT WHEN YOU ARE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA.  IF YOU SHOULD VISIT THE STORE, WHILE YOU ARE IN THE AREA JUST A FEW MINUTES SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 59 I WOULD RECOMMEND A VISIT TO MIDDENDORF'S RESTAURANT FOR THE BEST SEAFOOD IN LOUISIANA.  IT IS THE FAVORITE OF LOCALS AND HAS BEEN AT THE SAME LOCATION IN MANCHAC, LA FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS. STOP BY!
