Double dangle pendant by E.M.Linkin

Navajo handcrafted double dangle pendant by artist E.M. Linkin. Stunning blue-green Sonoran gold turquoise make this piece special. Measuring 3" in total length with a width of 3/4". Each stone measures approximately 1" x 3/4" in size. The artist has used a simple design for the setting of 1/2 round silver wire with a flower stamp at the ends. The bail is large enough to hold up to a 8mm bead or chain.

Sonoran  Gold Canyon Turquoise is an interesting turquoise from Senora, Mexico, near Nogales, Arizona, and its neighbor: Nogales, Mexico, which is the northernmost point in all of Mexico. The series of mines bearing this name are on several sites contingent to the American border. Very little hard natural material has been mined here. Most has needed stabilizing to be useful.
