Condition: This is a stunning, and I don't use that word much, pin/pendant combination by Larry Moses Begay of the Begay family of silversmiths. He is known for his cluster work and this one is a nice size all stones match no replacements. Weighs 10.4 gr and is 1 3/4 inch in diameter, the locking C-Clasp works well, tight. Bale is a soldered "O" ring. This is not "stabilized turquoise" with your thumb nail lightly over stone you can feel the matrix as not as smooth as the turquoise.
There is light reflection on the stones.
