Mother Nature is Amazing! The pattern in the stone is called the matrix and it is unique for each stone. Genuine High Grade Pilot Mountain Mine Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Pendant. Created by Navajo Artist Artie Yellowhorse. Signed by the artist. 18", 2.2mm Sterling Silver Diamond Cut Rope Chain is included.
The Yellowhorse trademark "Rising Sun" design is one of their most popular collections with its round or oval-domed center surrounded by small 'drops'or beads of silver, each one made by hand.
The Pilot Mountain Mine is located in western Nevada, east of the small town of Mina. As with most turquoise mines, this mine opened as a copper claim. Pilot Mountain turquoise was first mined around 1930 as a tunnel mine. Then it became an open pit mine when heavy equipment was available around 1970. The current owners of the claim have been mining the turquoise since 1989. While Pilot Mountain is considered an active mine, it is a very small operation. The miners go to the mine twice per year, bringing out only about 150 to 200 lbs. of rough stone each time. One of the current owners says one of the interesting parts of mining is "not knowing what you are going to hit next". Pilot Mountain turquoise forms in hard veins with color ranging from bright blue to dark blue with a greenish cast. Dark brown limonite mottled patterns are associated with this material. Most Pilot Mountain turquoise is called "grass roots", meaning the best deposits are found within ten feet of the surface.

I absolutely Love this incredible Calvin Begay pendant. It reminded me so much of my horse Strider who no longer walks this earth that I had to order it. He was an unusual color champagne tobiano and this piece glows just like he did.

I received my ring very quickly. It was in a cute little box. When I opened the box it took my breath away.
This is a stunning piece of work.. I absolutely love it.
I’ve received lots of compliments on this design. I will definitely buy from you again.. thank you

I have often admired Calvin Begay's artistry while perusing Treasures of the Southwest's online catalogs, but this is the first piece that "spoke" to me in an irresistible way. Upon its arrival, I was even more enchanted, especially with the subtle sparkling emitted by some of its embedded elements, which is impossible to capture in a photo.

I have 4 pieces of her jewelry, 2 rings, a pair of earrings and now this pendant. Each piece is solid sterling silver, no stones. They are all well made and beautiful. I would definitely recommend her jewelry.
