This beautifully handcrafted Turtle Pendant is made with the famous #8 Spider-Web Turquoise and set in Sterling Silver.
The Pendant is stamped Sterling and signed by the Artist. It measures almost 1 1/2” long and 5/8” wide. it comes with an 18” Sterling silver Snake Chain. A beautiful addition to this Pendant.
The #8 Turquoise is identified by its unique bright powder blue/green background and distinctive brown Spider Web matrix. It was discovered in 1925 and mined until 1976.
Since then the mine has been closed and only a previous existing stock pile remains. This turquoise is considered a collectors item because no more is expected to surface once the reserve is gone.
This is some of the last number 8 turquoise to be had.
