The Morenci turquoise mine, located in southeastern Arizona, has left an indelible mark on the world of turquoise with its unique and highly prized gemstones. Renowned for its deep blue color often interwoven with pyrite and occasionally quartz, Morenci turquoise stands out for its captivating beauty and exceptional hardness. This mine was once part of a copper mining operation, and the turquoise found in the Morenci deposit became highly sought after for its vibrant blue hues and distinctive matrix patterns. Although the Morenci mine is no longer active, its turquoise continues to be cherished by collectors and jewelry artisans for its rarity and historical significance. The distinctive appearance and enduring appeal of Morenci turquoise make it a valuable and cherished gemstone, representing a fascinating chapter in the legacy of American turquoise mining. The center stone measures around 3/4" x 1/2". The width of the bracelet measures around 1-3/4". Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 5" with an additional 1" gap. Sturdy 33 grams.
