Product Overview

New Heavy Sterling Silver Mens Ring with Bisbee Arizona Turquoise made by Native American Navajo Artist Russell Sam

 

The setting is a Heavy Solid Silver Casting with a textured fan on each side with a hand made setting on top

 

This Turquoise is Natural and comes from the famous Bisbee mine in Arizona

The famous Bisbee Arizona "Lavender Pit" mine is known worldwide for its massive size and the host rock does have a natural Red/Brown or some say lavender color; most Bisbee turquoise formed in and near this same host limestone material
The lavender name is so appropriate but is actually referencing a Phelps Dodge executive from when the mine was fully operational. 
(the mine closed in the 1970's)

 

This Bisbee Turquoise gems weigh approximately   6.30 carats and 7.5 carats  
This gemstone is NOT stabilized or treated, only mined, backed, carved and polished

Natural Bisbee turquoise gemstones such as this piece are extremely rare and collectable
This gem exhibits classic Bisbee characteristics

 

Russel uses traditional casting techniques, forming methods and individually sizes his rings. His jewelry is hand made and will show evidence of tool marks, scratches, pits and other small flaws in the castings and stones
