Morenci Turquoise comes from the Morenci Mine in South-eastern Arizona. This mine was the largest copper mine in the USA and its primary purpose was originally the production of copper in 1894. Turquoise is a common occurrence in copper mines, and it is here that the beautiful Morenci Turquoise was first discovered.
The Arizonian mine that once produced Morenci Turquoise is now depleted, which means it is no longer producing this stunning stone. Because of this, Morenci Turquoise is both rare and valuable.
The Morenci Turquoise you will find today was mined before production ended. While you will find it online often, it may sadly eventually run out because it is now very difficult to find this kind of stone.
These faceted free form pieces of Morenci turquoise have been set in lightly oxidized sterling silver and swing gently from an oxidized sterling silver chain. Finished with a lobster clasp closure and two inch extender chain for extra adjustability. Each is one of a kind and hangs slightly over 1 inch from chain. Please select preferred chain length.
Necklace comes carded, boxed, and packed with care. Silver polishing square and jewelry care card included.
