Old Navajo sterling silver ring. It is set with pale blue turquoise that has chert dark gray matrix. I believe that this turquoise may be from the Dry Creek Mine. The stone has a natural crack that is stable. I would never change out the stone as this is a rare one.
The stone is set in a plain bezel and has a twisted wire rope frame. There are skipwork fans on each side that cover the cold chisel split shank. Size 11. Face is almost 3/4” long. Weight: 6.6 grams. The silver has original gunmetal patina (tarnish). No hallmarks. Fred Harvey era.
