Sonoran

Sonoran Gold turquoise comes from the copper-rich desert country of Sonora, Mexico geologically continuous with the turquoise-producing formations of the American Southwest. What distinguishes Sonoran Gold from standard Sonoran turquoise is its matrix character the warm gold and pyrite inclusions that run through the stone alongside its vivid green ground, catching light in a way that reads almost metallic.

The green in Sonoran turquoise comes from elevated iron content during formation, pushing the stone’s color toward lime, apple, and teal rather than the sky blues of Arizona mines. Natural untreated Sonoran Gold of this saturation and matrix quality is increasingly rare and increasingly sought by collectors who recognize the particular alchemy of green stone and gold vein. This cabochon is a small stone that carries significant presence.

 

DAILY WEAR

Put jewelry on last - after lotion and perfume. Remove before swimming, cleaning , or working with your hands.

CLEANING 

Warm water and a drop pf dish soap does the job. Use a soft cloth, dry immediately, and finish with a silver polishing cloth.

TARNISH 

Tarnish is natural, not damage. If a piece has an antiqued finish, polish only the raised surfaces to preserve the contrast. 

STORAGE 

Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined box. Keep away from humid areas and direct sunlight to slow tarnishing.
