Spectacular Vintage Calvin Desson Navajo Stormy Mountainturquoise & 925 Cuff

He is presently working on his own and is best known for his incredibly detailed lapidary work. One look at this work of art and the observer immediately can tell that that it is a very special piece indeed! In regards the turquoise I believe that these are Stormy Mountain stones from a mine that is no longer operative! I have provided a reference at the end of this legend.

This bracelet which weighs 81gm has over the years acquired a lovely overall patina. I have made no effort to clean it. It is in perfect condition. Please if interested check out the photo gallery. The first few photos were taken in natural light, the latter were taken under a bedside table-light! If you have questions please go ahead and message me. Thank you so much for your consideration! Check out the photo and description for Stormy Mountain Turquoise! Stormy Mountain turquoise mine is in Elko County, northeastern Nevada. Also, like the Blue Diamond mine, Stormy Mountain produces hard, dark blue turquoise that includes a blotchy, black chart matrix. In conclusion, this mine is presently not active. Navajo lapidary artist Calvin Desson is from the Lupton area on the Navajo Reservation. Calvin began making jewelry when he started working for the Yellowhorse Trading Post in Lupton, Arizona. He began working on his own in 2004. He is known for his patterns in inlay and micro-inlay.
