Sonoran Necklace

Sonora Turquoise, like the White Water
Turquoise, originates from the Campitos
mine located on the Campitos Mountain
outside of Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. This
mine has been in production since the 1980’s.
Campitos turquoise, including the Sonora
Turquoise, is unique in many ways. The
most impressive of which is the way it is
mined. Most turquoise is mined from
veins found in the surrounding stone.
Turquoise from the Campitos Mountain is
often found in clay deposits as nuggets.
Sonora Turquoise tends to have a brilliant
green color with a matrix of brown and
traces of pyrite which add a special sparkle
to the stones.
