Beautiful cab of Golden Hills Turquoise set and bezeled on to a sterling silver backplate with a 15” sterling silver chain and toggle clasp, all antiqued and polished to leave a nice contrasting patina.

Can’t go wrong with Turquoise, People everywhere have cherished turquoise, whether used as a decorative or protective amulet, a horse protector, or rain bringer. The blue stone with the cheeriness of the sunny sky has always been foremost a symbol of hope.  

Golden Hills Turquoise is one of the most chemically pure' turquoise that is found in the market. It is also noted that its color is one of the most vibrant ones in the world. 

Its unique colors and it being super rare truly do make Golden Hill one of the most-sought after turquoise gems in the world. The contrast between the baby blue color with its dark web-like matrix gives it an amazing depth, which is why most turquoise enthusiasts would love to have this in their collection. 

Golden Hill Turquoise is originally found in Kazakhstan and is also known as Kazakhstan turquoise. This rare and beautiful gem is found in the deposit in the Altyn-Tyube mine in Kazakhstan. This stone can only be mined in the dead of winter,  not easy to get to and it’s popularity makes the availability of this stone scarce. I’m fortunate enough to have a trusted lapidary artist here in the US that cabs these stones. He receives the “rough” stones from Kazakhstan and then he cabs them here. I generally like to support local whenever I can.
