Lovely black web Nevada Blue turquoise set in 22k gold with a diamond highlight on an oxidized sterling silver band with fused 14k gold.
Cut by hand by Richard and Helen Shull. This is a vintage 1970’s rare turquoise from a commercially extinct mine. A must addition for the turquoise collector. Size 6.5
About the turquoise:
Nevada Blue turquoise is a fascinating stone, characterized by wild, bold red and black matrix in bright blue and intense, high-grade spiderweb. There are also other minerals associated with it including opal, rich red-brown limonite, and acicular crystals of either wavelite or selenite…very unique!
The Nevada Blue mine has a long history, first mined in 1901 under the name Pinto/Watts. Our Nevada Blue material was mined by the Hammon family from the late 1960’s up into the early 1980’s, and for the past 40 years had been part of the collection of Herb and Dottie Lindner. Some of the finest material was mined in the 70’s, and Herb purchased most of the mine’s production directly from the Hammons during that time. Today, due to extremely difficult access, the Nevada Blue Mine is no longer producing.
