Included in this lot is a Navajo Native American, lariat Mojave turquoise and sterling silver necklace. Mojave Turquoise is primarily found in the Kingman mine located in the heart of Kingman, Arizona. This mine is famous for its stabilized turquoise, which is turquoise that has been enhanced with epoxy that deepens the natural color of the stone. This process also involves a hydraulic press, which assembles turquoise nuggets by introducing a bronze metal matrix. Mojave turquoise is among these stabilized turquoise stones and is said to be the only stone available that features a real metal matrix and real Arizona turquoise. This beautiful necklace features four polished, triangular cut cabochons of Mojave turquoise and an additional cabochon gemstone. This stunning turquoise showcases a fantastic array of colors, ranging from deep purples to light baby blues. The topmost pendants show a beautiful Mojave green turquoise with black host matrix. The stabilization of this turquoise incorporates the copper vein matrix. The lariat cabochons are set in a shadow box setting. The back of the oval cut lariat is hand stamped with the maker, Herbert Tsosie’s hallmark, “HT”, and “Sterling”. The necklace measures 19 ½” when unclasped.
