Nacozari turquoise was mined in Mexico, southwest of Bisbee, AZ. It
is treasured for it's beautiful color and relative lack of matrix. The
Nacozari mine was worked only for a couple of years. This means there
is a limited supply of this turquoise
and it is becoming more and more rare.
Most rare turquoise such as this is held by collectors. It is
considered a true
investment.
Lost wax casting is an ancient method of casting silver and allows
intricate details to be captured in the final piece.
