Description: NATIVE AMERICAN NAVAJO LUCY VALENCIA CARICO LAKE KINGMAN TURQUOISE PENDANT Have you ever seen a carico lake turquoise cabochon of this size in this quality for sale? No, and I'm certain you never will again. Even if you go directly to the mine owner, Ernie, you will not be able to purchase a stone anywhere near this caliber. If carico lake material of this size and quality exist, they are museum pieces or are firmly staying put in Mr. Montoya's personal collection. This glorious piece showcases a huge carico lake turquoise cabochon (1.5" diameter and .25" thick) in the most coveted vibrant lime green coloration. It's so saturated and bright, it's nearly neon. And because carico lake material is so hard right out of the ground, the stone is completely untreated. The polish is likewise incredible... a mirror shine. It is set alongside a beautiful in its own right kingman birdseye turquoise cabochon. This piece is also unstabilized, which is rare for kingman material these days. The color is a pure, vivid blue and the black matrix is dispersed evenly across the entire stone. These two stunning turquoise cabs are set in a heavy-weight sterling silver pendant with a highly-polished finish. It measures just over 4" long (including bail) and approximately 1.75" wide. The bail can accommodate up to 10mm beads (necklace shown is NOT included with purchase). Made in the USA by celebrated Navajo silversmith Lucy Valencia. Stamped "LJ" and ".925." Brand new and unworn... retailed for $4,995. ***Please see my shop for the matching ring!*** Policies - Please read carefully, as any purchase constitutes the buyer's agreement with the below conditions: ContactPlease feel free to contact us with any questions.
