Multi Stone Carico Lake Turquoise Sterling Silver Wire Dangle Earrings by Native American Indian Navajo Phillip Yazzie. Exquisite variance in color make these spirited earrings a joy to wear. Six highly polished round 4mm cabochons highlighted by an oxidized background and silver bead accent cascade from the earwire to support a 10 by 12mm Oval Carico Lake Turquoise Stone set in rope and bead design.

Carico Lake Turquoise is named for its home on a dried-up lake bed in high, cool Lander County, Nevada. The clear, iridescent, spring green color is due to its high zinc content, and it is very unique. Carico Lake stones can also own dark blue-green color with a black spider web matrix. The colors and scarcity of Carico Lake make it a valuable addition to any collection.
