Nacozari turquoise pair 40.32 ct.

This turquoise, also called Cananea, is from Sonora state, Mexico. The mine is located 80 miles south from Arizona border, in the same Bisbee range mountains. This turquoise has been used since the 1970 in the local Indian jewellery, but the abundance of Kingman and later Sleeping Beauty turquoise kept it from becoming widely used . Now the Bisbee mine is closed, covered by tons of rocks and Nacozari is the most popular now. Stabilized with colourless resin. Size: 30x15x6.5 mm. Weight:40.32 ct. CODE#2572
