7D Turquoise Pendant

This little piece is kind of special, it's built with a material that you don't see very often! The turquoise is Seven Dwarfs, mined in Nevada, but the mine has recently been filled in and is not producing at this time. The mine received the name "Seven Dwarfs," because the claim owner was singing "hi-ho hi-ho" when he first stumbled upon the material! 

This is a smaller pendant at just over 1" wide by 1.25" without the bail. The bail will fit up to 4mm sterling pearls, or it would work beautifully on a larger chain! 

Stamped sterling and signed with my maker's mark.
