Thumbnail Filmstrip of Day 15 Deal - 2 1/2" long Genuine Pilot Mountain Turquoise Sterling Silver Pendant and Necklace Set Images
Stunning Pendant and Necklace Set. Genuine Pilot Mountain Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Pendant. Necklace features Genuine Turquoise with Sterling Silver Beads and Clasp. Created by Navajo Artist Walter Vandever. Signed by the artist. The Pilot Mountain mine is located in Esmeralda County, Nevada.The Pilot Mountain Mine is located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Pilot Mountain turquoise was first mined around 1930 as a tunnel mine. Then it became an open pit mine when heavy equipment was available around 1970. The current owners of the claim have been mining the turquoise since 1989. While Pilot Mountain is considered an active mine, it is a very small operation. The miners go to the mine twice per year, bringing out only about 150 to 200 lbs. of rough stone each time. One of the current owners says one of the interesting parts of mining is not knowing what you are going to hit next.

My wife and I are very pleased with the turquoise pendant!
It's beautifully hand crafted. It blends in perfectly with her Navajo jewelry.

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.
