ON SALE!

Vintage Turquoise cabochon from the Fox Turquoise mine, located near Lander County and discovered in the
early 1900s, was once Nevadas largest producer of turquoise with some half million pounds. This piece comes from a private collection put into storage over 40 years ago!

I will be listing other such cabochons over the next day or so. Please check back if you are interested in these vintage treasures.

Much of the turquoise in the current market comes from China. The best material came from right here in the United States. This high domed cabochon is from Nevada.

This stone measures 22.5mm x 25.4mm and would be ideal for wire wrapping or bezel setting. It weighs 32 carats, and is solid turquoise, no backing!

If you are interested in having this stone set in sterling silver as a Pendant or other piece of jewelry please contact me I do make custom jewelry!

Dont see a cabochon you like? Contact me, I have lots more!
