About the stone: Turquoise
From far reaching cultures such as those of ancient Egypt, China, and Native American Tribes, Turquoise has been treasured for millennia. Turquoise only forms in dry barren regions where copper-rich groundwater seeps down and reacts with minerals containing phosphorus and aluminum. Whether a clear field of striking color or the unique patterns of matrix, it's a stone with clear presence.

About the stone: Ammonite
A spiral shell from Jurassic seas up to 200 million years ago, now mineralized in stone and sometimes set with turqoise or other contrasting stones. The name honors Ammon, the ram-horned Egyptian god. Each spiral is a logarithmic curve older than the Rockies. A modern link to the past.
