Dry Creek Turquoise has gained much popularity over the years with its creamy pale blue coloring and golden to cocoa brown matrix. When mining operations halted and some new (private) rough released into the market place it lacked some of the luster we all fell in love with and for a couple years we had rejected more than half the finished jewelry presented for quality of stone. We have been very fortunate with recent releases and diversity of the Silversmiths.
