She holds a B.A. in Latin American Studies from The University of Colorado at Boulder and an M.A. in Archaeology from the University of the Americas 〔http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/Maya-Cosmology-the-Real-2012-Ma;search%3Atag%3A%22TEDxSanMigueldeAllende%22〕 After her graduate studies, Ridinger lived in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and worked on a number of archeological digs in the country, including the excavation preceding the construction of Mexico City's subway system. She is known for her discovery of the in-situ jade quarry sites in Guatemala that had been lost since the time of the Spanish Conquest of the Americas.
==Discovery of Guatemalan Jade Sources==
Ridinger is widely regarded among scholars as the first archaeologist to discover the in-situ locations of the pre-Columbian Maya jadeite jade quarry areas.〔http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/92926-fighting-the-tide-of-jade-plundering-in-guatemala/?photo=NaN〕〔http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970203935604577066063066160448〕

In years that followed, Ridinger and her husband discovered new types of jade that had previously been unknown, uncovering in 1987 a dark colored jade with pyrite inclusions now dubbed "Galactic Jade" and followed in 1998 by the discovery of a lavender variety of jadeite.〔http://www.natchezdemocrat.com/1999/10/19/archaeologist-tells-story-of-lost-jade-mines/〕
