The Turquoise Tortoise: a Bryant Nagel Gallery, is nestled within the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. After discovering the Hozho shopping area, you’ll find this space on the first floor. The gallery is one of the most seasoned and delightfully colorful in the Sedona, Arizona area.
 
Although the Turquoise Tortoise Gallery does offer turquoise jewelry and other turquoise wears, this gallery isn’t just about the turquoise. Gallery owners Thomas and Jennifer Bryant Nagel have carried on an exciting tradition of contemporary works by nationally and internationally recognized artists.
