A little about the Kingman mine:
"Mined in Mexico from the Pino Chueco and Cananea mines in Sonora, Campitos Turquoise was mined extensively in ancient times, with evidence of trade with Native American peoples. The Toltecs and Aztecs left much evidence of the importance of turquoise to these cultures. Campitos is unique in several ways. It grows in clay as free-form nuggets, rather than as veins which is typical of many North American turquoises. Its color is said to most closely resemble Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, and ranges from a light to medium blue, occasionally with pyrite inclusions, giving it a bit of sparkle. A lovely, hard stone with beautiful color, Campitos is a favorite for jewelry artisans. The mine as we know it today has been producing since the 1980's. Campito in Spanish is a derivative of the word “campo”, meaning “field” or “countryside”." (Info from Sunwest silver).

Ring is size 8.5 ), stone measures approx 14x15 mm.

Inside shank is stamped .925

*All of my resin jewelry pieces are painstakingly hand crafted my myself. No two pieces of jewelry will ever be the same, due to both the nature of handmade items and the fact that the internal elements are all natural. I use artists-grade, UV resistant clear resin, which prevents the flowers, feathers and leaves from fading once they are encased. Each piece is cured, filed, sanded and polished.
