Is that a turquoise stone in the center or copper? Almost looks like Indian jewelry.

It's probably a "thunder bird" necklace or pendant piece.

Are there any markings on it and can you tell if it is real turquoise? Does it look loike silver? What part of the country was it found? Also need a size reference.

Bad photo. So most likely a key chain end. Copper with fake turquoise. Most likely made in Arizona.

Look on the back is there any marks there??

Yep, being an old part Cherokee closet Indian, I recognize it as being representative of a thunderbird with a torquois stone. It's probably silver and would polish up beautifully if one is so inclined. There is a big market for "Indian" jewelry of this type that doesn't have "Made in China" stamped on the back of it! I'd guess a necklace pendant from the 50s or 60s? Monty

I think that your original question has already been answered. But on the resizing issue, here goes:
I use Paint, the program that comes with every windows application.
  • I first upload my photos to the PC.
  • Then I open them up using Paint
  • Now on the paint tool bar I click on the Image tab
  • The drop box menu will appear, in the drop menu click on the Stretch/Skew option
  • At this point you can change the Horizontal and Vertical size of the photo's percentage value to what ever you like. Or you can use the Cut and Paste option to move a slected snippeit to a new paint file, and then keep following the proceeding procedures
  • Now go back up and click the Image tab again, then select the Attributes option
  • Now make sure the Pixel mode is slected, and then change the Width to 720 and the Heigth to 450
  • At this point I go back up the tool bar and click on the File tab, then select the save option, and then name and save the photo.

That's the basic way to learn how to resize using Paint

I figured it was from the 50's...I found over 20 or so 1950's nickels near by in the past. It has no "made in china mark" I'm gonna cool this firebirds jets with a nice bath. Thanks for the help.
