  • Turquoise: the Cerrillos Mineral Gem
    A Living History Museum Turquoise: The Cerrillos Mineral Gem The mines of Cerrillos, New Mexico produce a particularly beautiful blue/ green variety of turquoise, so stunning in fact that they have been mined for roughly the last 3,000 years! Chemically, it is a phosphate of aluminum carrying small quantities of copper and iron and a green mineral, variscite. These give the gemstone its color as well as its value and beauty. This is the only phosphate that is considered a precious stone. Ancestral Puebloans first started mining the Cerrillos hills circa 900 BCE, and it’s been mined ever since. This “gem” of a mineral has been found across the state, and archaeological evidence shows it’s been mined and fashioned into ornaments and jewelry for centuries, with remnants found at one of the most ancient sites in the state, Chetro Ketl at Chaco Canyon. Southwest indigenous groups call turquoise chalchihuitl, as did the ancient peoples of Mexico and Central America who used the same word to describe jade or green turquoise. One of the hills still being mined in Cerrillos still bears the name, Mount Chalchihuitl. Combined with shell and coral from the California coast acquired in trade, turquoise jewelry itself became a valued commodity. Spanish settlers didn’t have much interest in turquoise as they were looking for what they considered a more important prize, namely gold and silver. In fact, outside of local indigenous groups, other cultural groups weren’t much interested in it and it didn’t really gain popularity with the American cultural at large until the 1890s.

It is characterized by long or irregular cycles, infrequent ovulations, signs of hyperandrogenism like excess body hair or acne, and the ovaries appear polycystic on ultrasound (likened poetically to a string of pearls). At least half of all patients with PCOS are obese. Several mechanisms have been offered to explain the pathomechanism of the syndrome. The most widely accepted explanation is the insulin resistance theory. According to this theory, women with PCOS possess a selective resistance to insulin (within the liver or muscle tissue), whereas other organs, such as the ovaries, maintain their response. Insulin stimulates theca cell androgen production within the ovary, and the excess androgen is responsible for the clinical signs of PCOS as well as the arrest of follicular development and ovulation. Blood tests often reveal raised levels of Luteinising hormone (LH), testosterone and insulin. Metformin (glucophage), which is an insulin lowering drug, either alone or in combination with Clomiphene, is the standard medical treatment for anovulation in PCOS patients who wish to conceive.
