This remarkable piece showcases genuine Spiny Oyster, beautifully complemented by Kingman Turquoise and Charoite. The Spiny Oyster featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — Harvested from the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez off Baja California, Mexico. The shell ranges from deep red-orange to purple and has been traded into the Southwest for over a thousand years. Complementing the design, the Kingman Turquoise adds its own story — From the Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona, one of the oldest and largest turquoise mines in North America. Operating since the 1880s, it produces classic blue turquoise with distinctive white and black matrix. Rounding out this composition, the Charoite brings additional character — Found only in Siberia, Russia, along the Chara River, this rare purple stone features swirling patterns of violet, lilac, and white. Discovered in 1978, it symbolizes transformation and spiritual insight. Available in size Post. From the ancient mesas of northeastern Arizona, the Hopi people have lived in this region for over a thousand years.
