A gorgeous piece of turquoise from the Morenci mine is accentuated by the deep chisel work of the sterling silver in this stunning bracelet by Ron Bedonie. His clean, precise, impeccable work is highly sought after and has won numerous top awards.
Mined in southeastern Arizona, Morenci turquoise is very collectible. It is high to light blue in color, and often has iron pyrite, or “fool’s gold”, occurring in the matrix. It is found in the large, open pit Morenci copper mine, where a great deal is of the “lunch box” variety – carried out by sharp-eyed copper miners.
Bracelet size 6 5/8", including 1 1/8" opening; width 1 1/2"
