Turquoise Ring Lander Blue Rarest Turquoise on Earth, Certified Authentic

About the Item

The rarest and most valuable turquoise in the world: Lander Blue. Discovered by a blackjack dealer named Rita who was picnicking in the area, the tiny "hat mine" (so called because it could be covered up with a hat) is located in Lander County, Nevada, between Battle Mountain and the ghost town of Tenabo. Only 109 pounds of turquoise was extracted from the tiny mine before it was depleted. Lander Blue turquoise gemstones are famous for their rich blue color and dark brown to black veining. This handmade sterling silver ring features a stunning cabochon of natural, untreated Lander Blue turquoise. The stone measures 9.18mm tall by 7.90mm wide. If the stone was a diamond, it would be approximately 2.31 carats. Of course, Lander Blue turquoise is profoundly rarer than ordinary diamonds -which are so plentiful, there appears to be enough for anyone who wants one to have one. I acquired this ring from the present owner of the Lander Blue mine and it ships with a card certifying its provenance. The spider-webbing of the stone is mirrored in the Tufa stone cast pattern o the sterling silver mounting. The ring is signed on the interior by the artist, Philander Begay. The ring shows no signs of wear and appears entirely unworn, though not "new" as in freshly made. Currently a size 10.5, it could be resized by you local jeweler. The band 16mm tall in front, tapering to 13.46mm on the shoulders and 9.87mm at the back. It's a dense, exceedingly well made, finely crafted ring. For the turquoise collector, this is quite simply the crown jewel.

Carved Jade Ring Bi-Color Highly Translucent Certified Untreated
Located in Southbury, CT
This is a highly translucent hand-carved new jadeite jade ring. It's a masterpiece of subtle and lapidary skill. The green face has been carved with a chamfered edge that gives this centuries-old style of ring a decidedly modern aesthetic. The ring displays extraordinary translucency. If it was entirely colorless and this translucency was the ring's primary feature, it would be a stunning and worthy jewel. But it is not colorless. The jade is bi-color: fresh, light green and yellow. The combination of strong lines and soft colors make this a stunningly unique ring. It's like wearing captured light on your finger. Jadeite is a highly durable gem and this is a ring you can actually wear every day. I have another nearly a century old and it shows no sign of wear at all. For the jade purist, this is the ideal: no gold, no diamonds...
