The Kingman Turquoise Mine, nestled amidst the arid landscapes of northwestern Arizona, stands as one of the oldest and most prolific turquoise mines in the United States. With a history dating back over a millennium, the mine has been a wellspring of this coveted gemstone for countless generations. What sets Kingman turquoise apart is its stunning range of blues, from sky-like ceruleans to deeper, more intense hues, often accented by intricate black or golden matrix patterns. This remarkable gem has been revered by Native American artisans for its workability and beauty, and it has found its way into countless masterpieces of Southwestern jewelry and art. Today, the Kingman Turquoise Mine continues to produce some of the most prized specimens in the world, its legacy intertwined with the rich cultural tapestry of the American Southwest. The mine's enduring significance is a testament to the enduring allure and craftsmanship inspired by this extraordinary gemstone. Sterling silver, marked. Signed by Navajo artist, E.L. Billah. The length of the necklace measures around 27". Sturdy 98 grams.
