Turquoise Museum: Real Gems, Mining History & Raw Specimens

Skip this if you hate small, niche museums, but go if you actually care about geology or Southwestern culture. You will see thousands of raw stones, learn the difference between real turquoise and cheap dyed plastic, and hear how the mining industry shaped New Mexico. It takes about an hour to walk through. Don't miss the vault room in the back. It’s nerdy, super specific, and better than any standard gift shop tour.
