Back in the 90's . I think it was on the way home after one of those Recursos events. I went specifically to see Hubbell beads or dispel the notion that they existed. The folks at the trading post were quite nice and led me into a back room and gave me some white gloves and let me examine beads they yet have in their archive. The beads definitely were made to look like turquoise. It's a bit off the beaten path some 40 plus miles north of I-40 into the Navajo Reservation west of Albuquerque. We continued on out through the res stopping at First Mesa and the Hopi res along the way and coming out some hundred miles later at Tuba City. It is lonely out in that southwest desert, but beautiful.
