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.

I have this piece I bought in New Mexico probably 25 years ago and still love it and get compliments every time I wear it I also have earrings and bracelet that are from Calvin

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!
