Sonoran Gold Turquoise is a brand new finding from the Sonora area of Mexico. There is an unusual way that it is mined. Most turquoise is cut from veins that interlace through host stones. A good way to visualize this is to take a look at a piece of Boulder Turquoise, which has been cut to emphasize these intricate ribbons of material. In contrast, Sonoran Turquoise actually forms inside clay deposits as individual nuggets.
Navajo silversmith Randall Endito grew up in a family of silversmiths and learned his art from his parents. Born in Gallup, January 1, 1980, to the Tangle Water into Bitterwater Clan, Randall continues to live and work in New Mexico. His clean lines and detailed stamp and scroll work give him a unique style that delights his collectors in the Southwest.
