Hello Everyone,
We have a friend that has been cutting some of the new Mohave Purple Turquoise and the blue Kingman Turquoise in cabochon sets of three. I asked him if he would send me a few sets so I could offer them up here on the RTH board.
These have been stabilized using the new method developed by a man named Colbaugh. Not sure exactly how it is being done but I do know they are using a lower grade of turquoise, then adding some brass and copper for the webbing and some dye. I'm not a big fan of any type of man made lapidary material but these are the exception. The material is sold for $50.00 per lb and from what I hear, they are selling it as fast as they can make it.
These sets are perfect for a pendant and earrings and they are very consistent in thickness, the domes are all uniform and the cabs are beautiful. Eye poppers for sure.
He sent me 6 sets to sell here on the board so if you would like a set, please post a message here on the thread and include the number of the set you would like.
Each set is $35.00, $36.50 including shipping. These are on a first come first serve basis because I don't know if I will be able to get any more of them.
This is set number 1 and it is already sold to Rockhobbit, one of the advantages of living close by, she gets to see everything we have.
This is set number 2, 25mm long x 15mm wide x 3mm thick and the earrings are 13mm x 8mm x 3mm
set number 3, 25mm x 20mm x 3mm and the earrings are 17mm x 15mm x 3mm
This is set number 4, 35mm x 25mm x 4mm, earrings are 25mm x 15mm x 4mm
This is set number 5, 27mm x 18mm x 3mm, earrings are 15mm x 15mm x 3mm
This is set number 6, 25mm x 15mm x3mm, earrings are, 15mm x 10mm x 3mm.
This picture is to help give an idea of size.
