Genuine Tyrone Turquoise set in Sterling Silver Earrings. Created by Navajo Artist Lyle Piaso. Signed by the artist.
Turquoise mining in the Burro Mountains near Silver City, New Mexico, has been going on since pre-historic times. The Tyrone mine produced great quantities of hard, deep and bright blue turquoise as well as pale spring green turquoise..
"Turquoise John" or John Coleman, is credited with the modern unearthing of Turquoise in this area. It is said he discovered some of the old mining activities while he was on a hunting trip in 1875. It is also told that WJ Foley and Nicholas Ransome were told by local Native traders that the ancient workings were hidden in the mountains, and a search resulted in the discovery of the ancient excavations.
The mine hasn't produced any turquoise since the 80's, when Phelps Dodge changed its method of mining copper to the process of crushing and acid wash which destroys the Turquoise.
Turquoise from this mine is highly collectible.

My wife was very pleased with her Sterling Silver White Buffalo Turquoise earrings. The shipment arrived quickly, and the earrings were larger than expected which actually was a good bonus. The certificate of authenticity was included in the package. The only issue was one that one of the earring stud posts was bent to the side as the package looked like it was slightly crushed in shipping. However, we easily bent it back straight and the earrings look great. My wife is very happy our purchase and I would definitely buy from Treasures of the Southwest again.

I became an instant aficionado of Artie Yellowhorse's unique artistry upon discovering her creations some five or six years ago and have now accumulated several of her pieces. The simple but commanding and unique elegance of her designs are of course present in these Mabe pearl earrings. Pearls of all varieties come in many shades, of course, but it is unusual to find them to be of such a true white, as is the case with this pair, and the main reason I was attracted to them. Exquisite!
