Sterling Silver Blackjack Turquoise Earrings.
Hand forged solid 925 Sterling silver.
Gorgeous high grade Blackjack turquoise. Mined near Tonopah, Nevada.
Extracted and cut primarily by the prominent Otteson family, who have managed regional turquoise claims for generations.
Rarity: It is a relatively new and limited deposit compared to classic, heavily mass-marketed Southwestern US turquoise mines. Features bold webbing and distinct color blocks against a dark, dramatic background.
Polychromatic: Contains mixed mineral traces, yielding bright copper-blues, iron-greens, and occasional golden or orange iron-rich tones.
One-of-a-Kind: Because of the brecciated (broken and re-fused rock) ribbon formation, no two cut stones share the same pattern.
