1 7/8" x 2 1/4" Bail: 1/4" Birdseye Kingman turquoise takes center stage in this handcrafted pendant. Bright blue fills the stone at the center of this piece while the stone's mini mal matrix adds subtle earth tones reminiscent of the birds' eyes Birdseye Kingman is so aptly named after. This piece offers a bold and elegant statement to any outfit. Birdseye refers to a type of turquoise akin to Spiderweb turquoise, but distinct in that it features a light blue base with a complementary blue matrix rather than dark patterns. This configuration yields a unique visual effect where cross-cut stones reveal numerous pockets of lighter blue stone enveloped by darker blue matrix, resembling a bird's eye. Birdseye turquoise, a rarity, can only be found in a few mines, including the Kingman Turquoise Mine located in Arizona. Show more
