Birdseye Dry Creek Turquoise Trapezoid Pendant by Ella Cowboy, Navajo

Ella Cowboy, a Navajo silversmith, set a large 3.5" x 1.5" trapezoid Birdseye Dry Creek turquoise stone in a twisted rope bezel on this substantial pendant. Dry Creek turquoise from Lander County, Nevada is among the rarest American turquoise — distinguished by its chalky pale blue color with little to no matrix. Birdseye Dry Creek adds circular matrix spot patterns formed by pyrite nodule oxidation, making this a doubly rare material combination. Weighs 46 grams. Bale: 12mm. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
