A regular supplier to the famed Hubbell Trading Post National Monument, his work is featured prominently in the finest galleries throughout the country. Terry regularly places first in the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial. We are pleased to supply him with much of the gem grade turquoise he uses in his beautiful creations.
