J876 Gary Spencer
Sterling Silver ring by Navajo silversmith Gary Spencer. Silver overlay compliments a beautiful 1/4” x 3/8” Carico Lake cabochon. Size 8
Carico Lake is a turquoise that comes from a large active mine in Nevada. In the last twenty years it has been mined sporadically so it is a relatively scarce turquoise. The green and blue-green spider web turquoise has a unique matrix and is one of the finest turquoise in North America.
