Alpine Studs #2

The Alpine Stud is comprised of Kingman Turquoise and sterling silver. The earrings come with a sturdy silver backing.  ABOUT THE STONES: The Kingman turquoise mine, operated by the Colbaugh family in Arizona, is the last remaining commercially producing mine in the United States. 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. Evidence suggests turquoise was mined in the surrounding areas dating as far back as 600 AD. Tools like stone hammers were found in the ancient trenches and tunnels running through the hills in 1962. Note to Buyers: All of Solstice Studio items are handmade and hand-finished. Each piece is one of a kind and you may notice some imperfections. These imperfections give handcrafted items their innate soulful character and appeal.
