The Morenci turquoise mine, located in southeastern Arizona, is renowned for producing some of the most striking and sought-after turquoise in the world. This mine is famous for its vibrant blue stones, often featuring a distinctive matrix of pyrite or "fool's gold," which gives the turquoise a unique and eye-catching shimmer. Active since the late 19th century, the Morenci mine has a rich history and has been a significant source of high-quality turquoise, prized by collectors, jewelers, and artisans. The mine's turquoise is known for its hardness and vibrant color, making it ideal for both intricate inlay work and bold jewelry designs. Though the Morenci mine has been depleted and ceased large-scale operations, its turquoise remains highly valued in the market, with pieces from this origin considered rare and collectible. The legacy of the Morenci mine continues to influence the turquoise industry, symbolizing the enduring allure of American turquoise. The stones measure around 1/2" x 1/4". The width of the bracelet measures around 1/4". Sterling silver, marked. The inside end to end measures around 7-1/2". Sturdy 11 grams.
