Item Description

A classic old style and colorful cabochon cut from the unique turquoise/quartz mix from the Mona Lisa Mine in Arkansas. It has the usual stabilization treatment for cutting and cabbing turquoise with epoxy infusion, but is not color enhanced in any way. So this is a natural color. James Zigras obtained a stash of this old material in purchasing the mine from the previous owner, and is currently reviving production at this classic USA gem locality. 17 grams.
