Genuine Tyrone Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Earrings. Created by Navajo Artist Lyle Piaso. Signed by the artist.
Turquoise mining in the Burro Mountains near Silver City, New Mexico, has been going on since pre-historic times. The Tyrone mine produced great quantities of hard, deep and bright blue turquoise as well as pale spring green turquoise..
"Turquoise John" or John Coleman, is credited with the modern unearthing of Turquoise in this area. It is said he discovered some of the old mining activities while he was on a hunting trip in 1875. It is also told that WJ Foley and Nicholas Ransome were told by local Native traders that the ancient workings were hidden in the mountains, and a search resulted in the discovery of the ancient excavations.
The mine hasn't produced any turquoise since the 80's, when Phelps Dodge changed its method of mining copper to the process of crushing and acid wash which destroys the Turquoise.
Turquoise from this mine is highly collectible.

this vibrant delicate beauty is my lucky charm as I go through chemotherapy. It sparkles with life and gives me hope. Together with Amy’s mystical fire opal earrings, which I also wear every day, i feel healing. Zuni magic! Thank you all!

I absolutely Love this incredible Calvin Begay pendant. It reminded me so much of my horse Strider who no longer walks this earth that I had to order it. He was an unusual color champagne tobiano and this piece glows just like he did.
