The art of tufa stone carving and casting can be traced to the early Egyptians. The globetrotting Spanish discovered it there and brought the art form to our American Indians. We are uncertain who taught Harrison Jim, but he darn sure mastered the art. Carving a reverse pattern into volcanic ash is no easy feat; it takes a visionary with steady hands and clear, focused eyes. Harrison is a master craftsman, and he has great taste in turquoise as well. This cab of high-grade natural Kingman turquoise has exceptional color and an appealing matrix. Harrison's combination of top-notch turquoise and exemplary silver work blend beautifully.

When and how the Navajo acquired the art of working metals is unknown but there are reasons for supposing that it was introduced among them, or at least more developed and improved upon by them, since the time they have occupied their present country?
