Campitos Turquoise Cuff Bracelet by Leslie Nez

Indulge in the stunning Campitos Turquoise Cuff Bracelet by Leslie Nez, featuring a sizable stone set in intricately crafted sterling silver. Handmade by a Navajo artist, it measures 6 3/4" and cannot be adjusted.

This is a clear turquoise from Compitas mine in Sonora, Mexico which resembles the deep blues of Sleeping Beauty. It is medium light-blue with no matrix and a little pyrite. The turquoise is very unique in that it is found as free-form nuggets in clay material, rather than in rock veins. The mine as we know it today has been producing since the 1980's.
