I don’t think it’s Bisbee but definitely a seldom seen type of turquoise. Let’s see what others think.

Wow I certainly wouldn’t think so. Those pink tones and crystalline-white matrix bits are throwing me off.

If I had to bet money on it being Bisbee, I would not. But… I found these on the Durango silver site which have a little bit of that tone, but no white.


Was it sold as Bisbee? And what the heck is it?

It’s a squash blossom which belonged to a friends late mother in law, there was a yellowed hang tag that said “busybee” (ha!) I was wondering if they meant Bisbee???

Doesn’t look like Bisbee to me, but I don’t have any more helpful suggestions than that. Busybee, lol.

I also have to opine No… at lease not the high quality we typically see in NA jewelry. That’s not to say it might not come from the Bisbee mining area…as with all types of turquoise, I’m sure there is some Bisbee that is different from we are accustomed to seeing…and online we can find examples to support what we want it to. Just my thoughts😊
