Hello. I bid on this turquoise at an estate sale and won it!!! Was told it’s Bisbee - Hoping it’s real. I plan on stopping at the Pueblo in Taos and asking an artist there to design me a bracelet with it BUT don’t want to look dumb showing up with a bag of rocks lol. This is crumbly and I can’t imagine anyone being able to slice it and make anything out of it!!! Can they???

Welcome! The top two look like Bisbee rough. Bisbee has a good hardness for turquoise. The only way to know for sure if it will cab is to start sawing. Odds are it should cab.
