Description

This is a large natural #8 Turquoise nugget pendant. The original owner was #8 mine owner J.W. Edgar. The pendant along with a large #8 bracelet (also on our website) was sold or traded to the owners of McGee's Indian Den. Sometime along the way Trader Dennis June (Dennis June's Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ) acquired it from his father and now it is in our hands. The stone has its natural shape and has been smoothed some and polished. The surface has the natural pit seen in nuggets. A heavy wire has been wrapped and holds the nugget. Silver has been but around the opening of the hole to secure and protect the turquoise. Note: the white areas are light reflection.

The nugget measures 2 3/4" tall by 2 7/8" wide, and approx. 1" thick in the center. The weight is 161 grams. This material was mined between the late 1920's into the late 1950's. Lee Hand and J.W. Edgar were partners in mining this grade #8 turquoise, which was located in Eureka County, Nevada.
