Mother Nature is Amazing! The pattern in the stone is called the matrix and it is unique for each stone. Genuine Sonoran Gold Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Pendant. Created by Navajo Artist Artie Lucy Jake. Signed by the artist. 18" Sterling Silver Chain is included.
Sonoran Turquoise, like the White Water Turquoise, originates from the Campitos mine located on the Campitos Mountain outside of Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. This mine has been in production since the 1980's. Campitos turquoise, including the Sonoran Turquoise, is unique in many ways. The most impressive of which is the way it is mined. Most turquoise is mined from veins found in the surrounding stone. Turquoise from the Campitos Mountain is often found in clay deposits as nuggets. Sonoran Turquoise tends to have a brilliant green or blue color with a matrix of brown and traces of pyrite which add a special sparkle to the stones.

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.
