COLLECTABLE LARRY MOSES BEGAY PENDANT/PIN. THE ARRANGED CLUSTER METHOD OF MAKING NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY WAS PERFECTED BY BOTH THE NAVAJO AND ZUNI. LARRY MOSES BEGAY IS ONE OF THE OLD MASTERS AT THIS STYLE OF JEWELRY.
THIS PENDANT IS REALLY STRIKING. IT IS 3.25 IN DIAMETER.
THE TURQUOISE STONES (FROM THE SLEEPING BEAUTY MINE HERE IN ARIZONA) ARE PERFECT. I CHECKED THIS WITH MY LOUPE AND DID NOT SEE ANY CRACKED OR DAMAGED STONES. THERE ARE 68 TEAR-DROP SHAPED STONES PLUS THE LARGER CENTER STONE. IT WEIGHS 45 GRAMS OR 1.8 OUNCES. THIS CAN ALSO BE WORN AS A PIN. THE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS PENDANT IS THAT IT WILL GO WITH JUST ABOUT ANY NATIVE AMERICAN RING/BRACELETS/BOLOS. PLEASE NOTE: I SHOW THIS PENDANT ON ONE OF MY OWN NECKLACES--ONLY THE PENDANT IS FOR SALE. Sleeping beauty turquoise can be found in the southwestern part of the United States in Arizona. The highly sought after stone has made a tremendous impact on the history of turquoise over the years. The stone got its name because the mountain where it is mined resembles a sleeping woman laying on her back with arms crossed. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise is revered and highly sought after due to its pure sky blue color which shows very little to no veining or webbing. REF: 2016.07.01.00004.
