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.

I have purchased several pieces of turquoise jewelry over the years & I have to say they are not only incredibly beautiful but they are fairly priced. The compliments my girlfriend gets on the pieces I have bought are non stop! I recently bought a necklace which was designed by Artie Yellowhorse (my favorite designer) & just bought the matching earrings to compliment the necklace for my girlfriends 65 birthday. I have sent many people to your website & those that have purchased from your company rave about it! Not one person has said anything other that how incredible the pieces are, how fast they ship & the great pricing. I'm not one to write about a company very often, but I have to tell you how impressed I am with your products and absolutely love the Designs by Artie & her daughters! Thank you again!

Can't praise these folks enough. Jewelry masquerading as art, or art masquerading as jewelry? Either way---fair pricing, top notch work (again) by Mr Begay, excellent communication, quick shipping. WHat more can one ask for?

Typical awesome work by Mr Begay. These kind folks are a pleasure to work with. And you know it's a genuine Calvin Begay. 10/10 in my book!!!

I was not looking for this piece. But I had to take another look at him. So glad I did. He makes quite the impression. Large and bold.
