Morenci Turquoise & Sterling Silver Ring

Size 8.5,  Ring Face: 14/16",  Artist Stamp: JA

This Morenci Turquoise & Sterling Silver Ring is weighty and handcrafted with a generously sized turquoise cabochon. It features a sky-blue gem splashed with flecks of shining golden pyrite. This piece is sure to turn heads, and it also reminds us of the wonders of Mother Nature.

Morenci Turquoise comes from Southeastern Arizona, close to the New Mexico border. Perhaps its most unique feature is the pyrite matrix which runs through the stone. Pyrite, most commonly referred to as Fool's Gold, is a metallic mineral which winds its way through Morenci cabochons. When the stone is polished, the pyrite looks silver, which run like clear streams in a field of blue.
