Native American Jewelry Natural Dry Creek Turquoise Pendant

Larry set this large Dry Creek Turquoise stone in sterling silver with hand-sawn and filed designs. The back is stamped LMY, Sterling.

When it was discovered, cutters were unsure that it was actually turquoise due to its unique color, but later lab testing by the current owners in 1999 confirmed it was indeed turquoise.
