Candelaria Big Nugget Turquoise Specimen Ring sz 6 1/2

I admit, I've been hoarding these stones! I have a small stash of Candelaria turquoise from the Big Nugget mine in the Candelaria Hills of Nevada. You can see why I would hoard it! The Big Nugget mine is the source of some bright blue turquoise but also found is a really beautiful, and rare, white turquoise. It's tested and genuine and this is what I've set in this ring. It's set simply, in sterling, to show off the stone. The wide ring band and back are milled, patterned silver and the back is marked with my hallmark. The top is approximately 24mm by 12mm. It best fits a size 6 1/2.

+ Details: 
+ All pieces are slowly and carefully handmade, in my studio in Sheridan, Wyoming. Because of this, each piece is unique and may contain the slight imperfections that you would expect with a handcrafted item. Perfectly imperfect!
+ As with all handmade jewelry, please be mindful to take care of it. It should not be worn in the shower, while cleaning, during strenuous activities such as sports, or in the water.
+ Sun, heat, lotions and chemicals can affect stones negatively. Clean silver (not stones) with a gentle polishing cloth, especially for jewelry (Sunshine polishing cloth is recommended).
