The Nevada mine produces this gorgeous color of Turquoise created in nature when zinc and iron content appears in the copper aluminum phosphate mineral changing the hue from blues to greens. The Apple Green/Lime Green is the most rare of green turquoise. The Carico Lake Mine has a very short mining season each year due to harsh winters and high-desert summers. It is named after a dried-up lake bed. This beaded bracelet is fabulous featuring a thick and heavy chain of sterling. There are ten unique shaped beaded gemstones on the bracelet and two petite stones on the toggle closure. We could not locate a resource to identify the silversmith. A stunning heirloom piece to add to your jewelry collection. At the time of listing we also offered a matching Pendant Necklace and a pair of stud earrings with apple green Carico Lake turquoise in our shop. The necklace is from the same silversmith as the bracelet.
