Pilot Mountain turquoise is a distinctive and highly prized variety, known for its vibrant blue to green hues, often accompanied by striking brown or reddish matrix patterns. Mined in the Pilot Mountain range of western Nevada, this turquoise is cherished for its bold colors and unique variations, which are influenced by the depth at which the stone is found. Unlike stabilized turquoise, Pilot Mountain turquoise is typically left in its natural state, giving it a rich, organic appeal. Native American artisans, especially Navajo and Zuni jewelers, frequently incorporate Pilot Mountain turquoise into their designs, highlighting the stone's natural beauty. Its rarity and striking appearance make it a favorite among collectors and jewelers alike, valued both for its aesthetic qualities and its connection to traditional craftsmanship. Sterling silver. The buckle measures around 2-3/4" x 2". Sturdy 58 grams.
