This necklace consists of graduated, rough tumbled nuggets of turquoise. It is American Indian and appears to be Navajo because of the decorations on the sterling silver closure. The largest nugget is over 3" long!! The sterling closure is hand tooled. One of the stones is broken. It is difficult to notice unless you are focusing on the necklace. The color of the turquoise is a luscious deep hue. It appears that there are nuggets from two different mines as the color of some stones are more green and have copper matrix and the others have iron matrix. There are small nuggets from the closure until the stones start getting quite large. At this point there is a deals large nugget and then small continuing by alternating small and large. This is a beautiful example of the richness of turquoise. I think the maker of this piece has done justice to the turquoise by leaving these beautiful large pieces the way they were mine, save polishing the surface to show the magnificence of the stone.
