Description

This stunning beauty hails from the legendary Number 8 mine in Eureka County, Nevada, and was lovingly handcrafted right here in our Ohio workshop. Discovered in the early 1900s during copper mining operations, the mine quickly gained fame for its top-tier turquoise. Although the mine no longer produces turquoise and now focuses on gold extraction, its limited supply of this coveted stone makes it even more desirable for jewelry lovers like you.

 

The striking matrix patterns in Number 8 turquoise are created when the surrounding host rock mingles with the mineral compounds during formation. Thanks to iron and zinc, the stone showcases a breathtaking range of blue to green hues, complemented by golden or reddish-brown matrix patterns that add a touch of elegance.

 

Number 8 turquoise is highly sought after, known for its beautiful blue-green colors and unique matrix patterns that resemble delicate spiderwebs or soft watercolor art. It’s a true masterpiece of nature, and a gem that’s as rare and special as you are.
