Morenci Turquoise is mined in southeastern Arizona. It is high to light blue in color. Morenci has an unusual matrix of irregular black pyrite that, when polished, often looks like silver. Morenci turquoise is well known because it was one of the first American turquoises to come on the market. It is very difficult to obtain now because the mine is depleted. It is a collectible turquoise. The necklace is 18 long and weighs. The pendant measures 1-13/16″ long and 1-7/16″ wide. The back of the pendant is stamped with STERLING and the maker’s initials, LJ.
