16.2 carat, 100% natural, untreated and unbacked, spiderweb turquoise GEM!

Did you know that gem-quality Turquoise is rarer than Diamonds? That naturally hard, good color Turquoise represents about 1% of the world’s total Turquoise production? I recently was able to procure a small parcel of the nicest, hardest Turquoise I’ve cut in 50 years! Naturally spiderwebbed (a big plus!) with a very pleasing seafoam blue-green color, the two pieces I acquired were so hard that when I ‘clinked’ them together, they sounded like glass! They required no treatment of any kind, and no backing, as much of the world’s Turquoise does. These are 100%, completely natural gems of the highest hardness and a beautiful look. They have a natural, glassy finish, unlike almost any other Turquoise! World-class, indeed! If you love Turquoise and want top-rank quality, this is it! Dug from the earth in the ancient mines in Hubei, China, cut by myself, this stone is ready to set. If you’d like, by private arrangement, I will design and manufacture a setting for it in silver or gold. I am an award-winning jeweler and gemologist with over 50 years of experience! This good-sized stone weighs 16.2 carats!
