From it’s humble begginings Sleeping Beauty Turquoise from Arizona has become one of the most important Turquoise mines in the world. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise was first found by the Native Americans during the Anasazi times. At this time the Turquoise was mined with hand tools and little bits were collected at a time. The baby blue or “Robin’s Egg” blue Turquoise was mainly used as beads and on shells that the Native American tribes of the Southwest had traded for with the Native American tribes of central and south America. Sleeping Beauty Turquoise also made its way to Pueblo Bonito during the Anasazi times along with Turquoise from other deposits in the Southwest. Pueblo Bonito served as a trade center for Anasazi Turquoise for North American Tribes, Central American Tribes and South American tribes. Since this time, the Sleeping Beauty mine was developed by Anglo peoples in search of Copper and other meetal ore. The Turquoise was under contract by Monty Nichols. Nichols is said to have “Torn down a mountain” to find the famous Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, which is a figure of speech, not an actuality to show how much work the miner has done to get the stone that has become an icon. The world has had a fascination for turquoise for over 7000 years. The oldest known example of any jewelry was a carved turquoise and gold bracelet found on the mummy of an Egyptian queen. In the American Southwest, Native Americans have mined turquoise since prehistoric times. Many legends surround turquoise, it is believed to bring good fortune and health. While turquoise was once used as currency in the American Southwest, it has been treasured as an adornment throughout the centuries worldwide. The evolution of turquoise jewelry from its appeal as southwestern, Native American or tourist jewelry, to one of the most coveted gems set in designer jewelry worldwide. Coveted, that is, only if you are talking about true, genuine turquoise. And so our turquoise love story continues. While the demand for turquoise has increased dramatically, the supply of genuine turquoise is limited. Turquoise jewelry has been worn for both fashion and cultural significance throughout history. Many American Indian tribes believe the stone harbors mystical powers. According to some beliefs, turquoise can keep bad spirits away and some believe it can ward off bad spirits, encourage communication, creativity and spiritual bonding.

Kingman Turquoise is known for its beautiful sky blue color and produces many variations of blue Turquoise. The Kingman Turquoise mine also produces green Turquoise from the Turquoise Mountain side of the mine. Kingman Turquoise has been the biggest supplier of Turquoise to the Southwestern Turquoise Jewelry industry for nearly as long as the American Turquoise Jewelry industry has existed.

IT IS MADE SO THE NECKLACE CAN EASILY BE REMOVED. ONE OF THE NAVAJO PUEBLO JEWELER ARTISANS WITH INITIALS “SH” DECIDED TO MAKE A SPECTACULAR NECKLACE/PENDANT OUT OF IT.

THE HUGE BENNETT BOLO/PENDANT IS CONSTRUCTED WITH EXTREMELY HEAVY, THICK, STURDY STERLING SILVER. THE MASSIVE PIECE WEIGHS 81.9 GRAMS. IT IS OUTSTANDING MAGNIFICENT EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PATINA THAT FORMED SINCE THE 50’S IS SPECTACULAR. I DO NOT CLEAN OR POLISH IMPORTANT VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN ARTIFACTS OF ANY KIND. IN MY OPINION, REMOVING THE PATINA AND POLISHING IT TO BRILLIANT SHINY SILVER PIECE COULD POSSIBLY DIMINISH THE VALUE. THE BOLO/PENDANT MEASURES 2″ LONG X ABOUT 1-3/4″ WIDE. EXCLUDING THE CENTER PIECE. TURQUOISE ALONE WHICH RESEMBLES A HUGE SHARKS TOOTH IN SHAPE MEASURES JUST OVER 1-3/8″ HIGH X 1-1/8″ WIDE & IS INCREDIBLY AND UNUSUALLY THICK. THE STERLING SILVER 10 STRANDED SIGNED “SH AND HALLMARKED MEASURES 26″ LONG. EACH SIDE OF COURSE HAS 10 STRANDS, EACH SIDE MEASURES 12-1/2 LONG. THE ENTIRE ITEM IS LONGER THAN THE ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS WHEN WEARING IT BECAUSE OF DISTANCE OF EACH SIDE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOLO/PENDANT. THE MASSIVE SETTING WITH THE TURQUOISE MEASURES ABOUT 5/8 THICK. THE DESIGNS ARE VERY TYPICAL SYMBOLS & PATTERNS, INCLUDING THE LARGEST STERLING FEATHER I HAVE EVER SEEN ON NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN JEWELRY. THE WHOLE PIECE IS INCREDIBLY HAND TOOLED CRAFTSMANSHIP. EACH OF THE THOUSANDS OF TUBULAR STERLING SILVER “LIQUID” BEADS HAVE BEEN HAND STRUNG ONE AT A TIME. MURRY BENNETT WAS 1ST TO DESIGN AND PATENT THIS TYPE BOLO CLOSURE SYSTEM. THIS WAS INVENTED AND PATENTED IN THE EARLY 1950’s. THE EARLY PATENTED TYPE HAVE THE C-31 ADDED TO THE SIGNATURE AND PATENTED STAMP. NEWER ONES STARTING IN THE 60’s DO NOT HAVE THE C-31. AND ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OLD NAVAJO PIECES LIKE THIS ONE. AT THAT SHOW, I MET AN ELDERLY NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN WOMAN WEARING ANTIQUE NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY, WHO TOOK INTEREST IN A COUPLE HIGH END LARGE TURQUOISE & RED CORAL STERLING SILVER RINGS SIGNED BY ONE OF THE BEGAY’S. WE BEGAN TALKING, & I FOUND OUT THE WOMAN GREW UP AND WAS VERY FRIENDLY SOME OF OLDER BEGAY JEWELERS.
