The Morenci turquoise mine, located in southeastern Arizona near the town of Clifton, is renowned for producing some of the most vibrant and sought-after turquoise in the world. Known for its stunning blue hues, often enhanced by a distinctive pyrite matrix that gives it a silvery, metallic luster, Morenci turquoise is highly prized by collectors and jewelry artists. The mine, originally a large-scale copper mining operation, became famous for the high-quality turquoise discovered as a byproduct of copper extraction. Though the mine ceased turquoise production decades ago, the stones remain highly valuable due to their rarity and exceptional beauty. Morenci turquoise continues to be a favorite in Native American jewelry, celebrated for its striking color and unique characteristics that make each piece a work of art. The center stone measures around 1/2" x 1/2". The ring face measures around 7/8" x 3/4". Signed by Hopi artist, E.M.K. The ring size is around 10. Sterling silver, marked. Sturdy 9 grams.
