Turquoise, Number 8
Edition
One of one

This piece of Number 8 turquoise from the closed mine in Eureka County, Nevada, is what we call an orphan. It steps away from the standard matrix patterns usually expected from that location, holding a character all its own. We cut the stone clean to let that unusual shift in the material speak for itself.
