The Morenci turquoise mine, located in southeastern Arizona, holds a distinguished place in the history of turquoise mining. Renowned for its stunning blue coloration often intermixed with pyrite and quartz, Morenci turquoise is celebrated for its rich beauty and unique matrix patterns. The mine's origins can be traced back to prehistoric times when Native American tribes first began extracting turquoise from the surrounding hills. However, it wasn't until the late 19th century that commercial mining operations began in earnest. Over the years, Morenci turquoise has become highly sought after by collectors and jewelry designers for its vibrant color and exceptional quality. Despite fluctuations in production and periods of closure, the allure of Morenci turquoise endures, with its distinct beauty continuing to captivate enthusiasts worldwide. As one of the premier sources of American turquoise, the Morenci mine remains an integral part of the turquoise mining landscape, preserving a legacy of craftsmanship and natural beauty that spans generations. The center stone measures around 3/4" x 5/8". The width of the bracelet measures around 2-1/8". Signed by Navajo artist, Philip Tso. Sterling silver. The inside end to end measures around 5-3/4" with an additional 1" gap. Sturdy 84 grams.
