I bought this 50 year old Ithaca Peak Turquoise (mined out since the early 1970's) from John Foutz. I used 14k gold wire, beads, and clasps to make this set. I'm having an impossible time getting my pictures small enough for this... And even photoshop isn't getting them small enough... Anyway, here is the ring. One of the neatest things about this turquoise are the quartz and pyrite matrixes. On this large piece you can see several really beautiful 6 sided quartz crystals that are naturally "faceted" and sparkle!
