Included in this lot is a Hubei Turquoise Bead Necklace. This necklace features 69 round Hubei Turquoise beads. The beads start off smaller at the clasps and get larger towards the center of the necklace. The Hubei Turquoise beads display an ocean blue color with dark veined spider-web matrix. Hubei Turquoise is some of the nicest turquoise mined in Asia. Named for the Hubei Province of China, it is a natural turquoise variety. For over 2000 years Turquoise has been mined in China and is used in many carvings and works of art dating back to the earliest dynasties. Hubei Turquoise spans the range of the color spectrum from deep greens to dark blues and even yellow. But, the best of the bunch, and the most sought after by collectors is dark blue with intricate spider webbing. Today, most of the turquoise produced in China comes from the Ma'anshan and Hubei mines. The Hubei province includes the Yungai (also known as Cloud Mountain) and the Zhuxi mines. It is said that for every well known American mine, there is a Chinese counterpart producing similar material. The best natural Chinese turquoise is often withheld from the American market, making it quite rare and valued by collectors. This necklace is in very nice condition, showing no wear to the beads, no marring noted. The necklace measures 11.5" clasped. Collective weight is 62.7g.
