Navajo Indian Pendant Boulder Turquoise Sterling Silver Elouise Kee

Here is a truly unique pendant made by Navajo silversmith, Elouise Kee. Shas used some unusual boulder turquoise to really set off this  sterling silver pendant. The streaks of turquoise going through the brown and cream colored rock matrix are just stunning.  The large plain bail is 1/2" long. The basically triangularly shaped pendant itself is 1-1/2" by 1"  by 1-1/2". The boulder turquoise is 1-1/8" by 3/4" by 1-1/4".

What a beauty! Elouise has stamped "Elouise Kee - sterling" on the back of this beautiful pendant. The heavy sterling used in the setting is great. Really a lovely and unusual piece--to be treasured!

Boulder Turquoise is sometimes called Ribbon Turquoise--as evidenced by the gorgeous vein of turquoise cutting across this stone. Boulder Turquoise is found in the original Royston Mines, near Tonapah, Nevada.

Boulder Turquoise is comprised of the stone surrounding thin ribbons of Turquoise. Most of the stone that surrounds turquoise is too brittle to cut and polish. It is very unusual to find this dense hard stone. This is a wonderful example of the Boulder Turquoise.
