I always save up my spare beads. This seven strand has a cool bead mix of various cut & shape of Turquoise, coral, shell, wood, gem stones & chips, glass, pearls, and Acrylic beads. With a lead free clasp although long enough to go over most heads without opening. Hey if you’re thing enough use as fun belt or as layered necklace. Cool on a boot too! Just get funky with it.

Too bad you can’t see my jewelry. I always have it on, too fat and sweaty in the Moab summer heat and the hike was challenging for someone with a fity pound backpack. What you don’t see that either? It’s mixed in with the surface sweat right under the skin. Yeah but I made the frigging hike.

Info on beautiful Arizona turquoise found in Kingman.

Kingman is home to one of only three prehistoric mining sites discovered in Arizona. Which led to the discovery of Hohokam hammers dating back to 600 A.D. Navajo hammers and materials used for polishing and finishing turquoise were also discovered at the Kingman Turquoise Mine, along with water skins and charcoal. Archeologists believed the Navajo tribes in the area used the charcoal to heat rocks that contained veins of turquoise before abruptly dousing the hot rock with water from the skin. This would cause the rocks to fracture, exposing the beautiful turquoise underneath. Kingman Turquoise Mine stones are among the most beautiful and sought after varieties, known for its characteristic veining. Most of the turquoise stones pulled form the Kingman Turquoise Mine are used for the highest quality turquoise jewelry, but some of the stones collected are sold and used in other ways, such as art n crafts. If you do an internet search you will find interesting items for sale. And the prices often will reflect the amount of this precious turquoise stone used. Most turquoise is porous and must be processed for use in jewelry. About three percent of the stones pulled from the Kingman Turquoise Mine are naturally hard enough to be used unprocessed. This is among the most valuable turquoise on he market. Remember natural turquoise will change color in time due to body oils and chemicals used on body, such as cosmetics. I always say, find the item you like, and purchase the product for the stones. If it happens to be a piece of jewelry at some point it can be redesigned. Its the best part of finding good quality stones.
