"Bisbee Turquoise was mined for many years as a byproduct of copper production in the enormous open pit mine and surrounding areas oped by Phelps Dodge Corp. The vast majority and the highest quality turquoise was found in the famous Lavender Pit copper mine. Bisbee turquoise is famous for its deep sky blue color and its purplish-chocolate brown matrix. The chocolate brown spider-webbed stones with deep sky blue color are among the most prized turquoise stones ever available."

Looking forward to comments.

Nice buy ! I love Turquoise :-)
Beautiful colour!
Absolutely looks Mexican to me. I recently read that the Navajo and other tribes learned the trade from the Mexicans. Now I don't know if that is actually true or not, but ya never know! Look up Mexican turquoise.
BTW I love the ring regardless.
