5 Beautiful Genuine Tyrone Turquoise Stones set in Sterling Silver Link Bracelet. Created by Navajo Artist Lucy Jake. 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.

I was interested as soon as I saw it. Manassa and from my State and favorite Artie Yellowhorse contemporary artist. Not much Manassa seen. Always the best stone specimens and sterling settings from Artie Yellowhorse. Along with the best customer service help from Treasures! There's always an item or two in my wish list. Donna is great to answer questions and work with. Fast deliveries.

The bracelet came packaged very well. It is a very beautiful bracelet. The craftsmanship is beyond outstanding. My wife had commented on this bracelet so I took the hint and she will be getting this for Christmas.
Great experience with Treasures of the Southwest. I'll be doing return business.
