We are excited to auction off this unique vintage Zuni pendant! It features a reversible silver cross with both Blue Gem turquoise and coral stones, silver beads, and a silver bail! Amazing artistry!
Blue Gem turquoise, sourced from the Blue Gem mine in Nevada, is renowned for its strikingly vibrant blue color and distinctive aesthetic appeal. Discovered in the early 20th century, the Blue Gem mine has been celebrated for producing some of the highest quality turquoise stones, characterized by their intense, rich blue hues that are often accompanied by a striking golden to brown matrix. This unique matrix pattern, combined with the stone's exceptional hardness and durability, makes Blue Gem turquoise highly prized in the jewelry world. Its vibrant color and distinctive veining make it a favorite among artisans for creating eye-catching, high-end jewelry pieces. Though mining operations at the Blue Gem mine ceased several decades ago, the stone's enduring beauty and rarity ensure that it remains a coveted choice for collectors and designers, symbolizing the rich heritage and artistry of American turquoise. The stones measure around 1/4" x 1/4". Sterling silver. The pendant measures around 2-1/2" x 1-1/2". Sturdy 17 grams. Cir Mid Century +
