Sterling Silver Mine Number 8 Vertical Bar Necklace - Native American

Signed by Steve Francisco, Navajo

Discovered in 1929 in Eureka County, Nevada, the #8 Mine is celebrated for producing some of the finest spiderweb turquoise in the world.

Turquoise extraction officially stopped in 1976, and today the site operates exclusively as a large-scale open-pit gold mine.

Because no new turquoise is being extracted, genuine vintage #8 pieces are highly collectible and prized by artisans and collectors
