Vintage Bisbee Turquoise Ring Size 8

A long sterling silver vintage ring that is set with a natural Bisbee Turquoise stone and features some beautiful chocolate-brown matrix.

This now-iconic stone originally came from an open-pit copper mining operation found
1,200 feet within a shaft in an area known as the Lavender Pit in the 1950s. This mine is no longer operational and most pieces are found through old stashes or collections obtained a long time ago. A classic identifiable by its unique smoky to chocolate-brown matrix and range from robin's-egg blue to deep indigo.
