About the Item

Navajo single stone bracelet. The Turquoise is from the Damele Mine in Nevada. Large beautiful stone, slash work on sterling bracelet with nice patina (can be buffed out to make shiny again). Maker's mark "Robert Kelley". One of our long time favorite varieties of American Turquoise has always been Damele also spelled Damale or Damaile. We love all the gems from the famous Nevada mine, the Turquoise, the Variscite and the Faustite. The Damele mine outside of Austin, Nevada produces some of the most wonderful Turquoise and Variscite in the world. A great majority of the Damele Turquoise and Variscite features spiderweb matrix. The Damele mine is known as a spiderweb Turquoise mine and is known for its lime green Turquoise, Faustite, and Variscite. The mine was first made famous for it's yellow to lime Turquoise with black and brown spiderweb matrix. Very little Turquoise is being produced today, and what little material is being produced is mostly the beautiful deep green to lime green Variscite. Much of the Damele Spiderweb Turquoise sold presently is cut from older rough that can still be found from various Turquoise dealers, collectors and the mine's current owner Tony Cotner (written 2014). Damele is very hard and comes in a variety of colors from yellow, gold, greens and grays with a beautiful spider webbing. It is a well known mine with highly sought after spiderweb Variscite and spiderweb Turquoise cabochons and beads.

Navajo Kingman Turquoise and Sterling Bracelet
Located in Coeur d Alene, ID
Navajo large turquoise slab bracelet. The turquoise is from the Kingman Mine in Arizona. This bracelet has an exceptionally beautiful sky blue stone (over 2") with twisted rope and bead border. Nice patina! This bracelet came from Arizona (Kingman Mine), we purchased in 2010. It was made by a Navajo silversmith during the period before they marked their work (most probably around 1960-70s).

Much later a number of individuals and companies owned and used the mine. The Kingman Mine is located in an area called Mineral Park in Arizona. It was discovered by James Haas in the late 1800’s. In the late 1880’s to the early 1900’s, Mineral Park was mined by the Aztec Turquoise Co., the Los Angeles Gem Co., Arizona Turquoise Co., Southwest Turquoise...
