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 was given this bracelet by my husband for my 60th birthday - it is my favorite piece of jewelry and I simply cannot stop looking at it! This is such a beautiful, meaningful piece of art. Thank you Calvin Begay for your incredible talent, dedication to your craft, and for my most memorable birthday thus far!

I am pleasantly pleased with the authentic Native American products and service from Treasures of The Southwest. The options are numerous and I finally made my purchase selections from the plethora of choices. I purchased closely matching pendant, earrings and bracelet as gifts and my wife loved them. The service was outstanding with special gift wrapping and rapid delivery. The gifts arrived just in time on the day of our 55th wedding anniversary, just in time for a lovely steak dinner in Old Town Albuquerque. Thanks Treasures of The Southwest.

I had to special order Artie Yellowhorse dogwood cuff bracelet and ring. The products are of good quality and high craftsmanship. Donna gave excellent customer service. I would buy from this trusted on line store again. Shipping was fast and products were well packaged.
