Looking for help identifying the turquoise in this bracelet. I believe I see pyrite in the matrix when I use magnification. Any other info age and value would be great. There are no hallmarks on the piece. Thanks for the help.
I don’t know, it would be a guess. You might do some research on green moronic.

Thanks Jason for confirming that possibility. I thought this may be the case as I see silver flakes in the matrix when I look at it with magnification. Does Green Morenci hold the same value as Blue or Blue Green Morenci? I can’t find much on it when I try to research the usual Turquoise websites that I turn to.
I imagine that the best blue would be more than the best green Morenci. Your stone has a good look and the bracelet has a nice vintage look. Something like $2-$3 a carat is what I would think to see, and your stone might be pretty heavy. It looks like a thick cut.
