This 6mm Kingman Turquoise stone is set in Sterling Silver with a Sterling silver ball frame around it. It is mounted to heavy gauge patterned Sterling Silver wire frame. This is a great little bracelet to stack with other plain silver bracelets or on its own.

Navajos originally mined Kingman turquoise in 600 A.D. as part of the aforementioned Native American turquoise trade network. It was later discovered again in the 1800s, but did not become mainstream until Leonard Hardy launched a marketing campaign from 1950-1970.

The most sought-after Kingman turquoise is bright blue with a black or silver matrix. But because of the mines large size, turquoise can also be dark blue or a light green.
