Mother Nature is Amazing! The pattern in the stone is called the matrix and it is unique for each stone. Genuine Sonoran Gold Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Pendant. Created by Navajo Artist Artie Yellowhorse. Signed by the artist. 18" Sterling Silver Diamond Cut Rope Chain is included.
The Yellowhorse trademark "Rising Sun" design is one of their most popular collections with its round or oval-domed center surrounded by small 'drops'or beads of silver, each one made by hand.
Sonoran Turquoise, like the White Water Turquoise, originates from the Campitos mine located on the Campitos Mountain outside of Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. This mine has been in production since the 1980's. Campitos turquoise, including the Sonoran Turquoise, is unique in many ways. The most impressive of which is the way it is mined. Most turquoise is mined from veins found in the surrounding stone. Turquoise from the Campitos Mountain is often found in clay deposits as nuggets. Sonoran Turquoise tends to have a brilliant green or blue color with a matrix of brown and traces of pyrite which add a special sparkle to the stones.

I absolutely love this Calvin Begay piece. I had seen a woman in Santa Fe wearing a similar piece (same shape) by Calvin Begay and I coveted it. I was excited when my Google search found Treasures of the Southwest and their vast catalogue of Calvin’s jewelry. Much to my delight, they had this beautiful piece. In addition to the unique shape, I love the colors as they are different than my other Southwest pieces.
Donna was wonderful to work with and very accommodating.

Absolutely beautiful pendant, the second one I've bought from this shop by this artist. Shipped quickly and securely.

It is not the first piece of jewellery I get from Calvin Begay, and I really like all of them. This one is very special, because it is so beautifully made, including all the desert colours in the stones, that wearing it is like carrying a little piece of the desert with me. He is such an artist! Really beautiful. I feel very happy and special when I wear it. Like being transported to a different place, the earth, the sky, desert landscapes...

I’ve purchased many pieces of wearable art from Treasures of the Southwest. The description is always accurate and the pictures are beautiful. This company is a dream to work with and will not disappoint!
