Oval stone Golden hills turquoise ring

Navajo handcrafted ring. Made of solid sterling with a small oval Golden hills turquoise stone. The setting measures only 3/4"  x 5/8". The stone features unique matrix that sets this ring apart from others. The stone is mounted high in the setting and is mounted on a thin 1/2 round split wire shank. Easily sized. 

Stone: In the Russian hills of Kazakhstan sits the GOLDEN HILLS mine. The Turquoise is only mined in the winter months during the freezing cold and snow as rains flood the mine during the summer. The location of the mine is remote and difficult to bring equipment in and out of. It is the only Turquoise known to have the unique coloring of bright blue with a Lavender undertone.
