RARE Hardy Pit Kingman Turquoise (AZ) Matching Earring Slab Bead Pair 15x32mm
The Hardy pit turquoise was mined from a specific area at the Kingman mine and largely held back from the market by LW Hardy. This area is known for producing high-quality turquoise, often featuring a water-webbed or webby pattern and a range of blues and greens, sometimes with a tan or sand-colored matrix. The Kingman mine has a long history, dating back over 1,000 years, with Native American cultures using the turquoise for jewelry.
