Kingman turquoise ~
Offered here is a large cabochon of turquoise, which hails from the venerable Kingman mine in Arizona. It features bright turquoise-blue coloration, along with contrasting webs of rich tan matrix. I must say, the color of this stone seems more attractive in hand than these photos depict, being a great example of the classic old Kingman stock. This is stabilized material, as is most modern turquoise, but it contains no artificial coloring. It cut beautifully, and will stand up to every day wear without changing or deteriorating over the years. The cab has a generously high rounded dome of 6mm, a versatile designer 'catseye' shape, and it is finished with a smooth glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 53x12mm
Weight: approximately 27 carats
