Oltu Bazar, Erzurum

I visited the Oltu Bazar in Erzurum, Anatolia in Turkey where shops sell jewelry made of “Oltu Stone”, also called "Erzurum stone", which is mined in villages in the mountains near the city. It is a black gemstone made from fossilized trees subjected to high pressure during geological folding. A woman in a black chador is sitting in the doorway.
