This artful cluster ring by Navajo silversmith Boyd Benson features a mesmerizing display of fifteen hand selected Sonoran turquoise gemstones. Sterling silver drops accent the spaces between each stone while a hand stamped ring band completes the design.
Hailing from the Campitos mine situated near Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, Sonoran turquoise stands out due to its distinctive mining process. Unlike traditional turquoise veins, this variety is frequently discovered as nuggets within clay deposits. In operation since the 1980s, the mine yields exquisite Sonoran turquoise, characterized by vivid green hues complemented by brown matrix, occasionally accented with traces of pyrite to infuse a captivating sparkle.
