Any thoughts on mines of origin for these two Navajo rings? Thanks much.

The approximately 1-1/2 inch, size 13, ring has some specks of pyrite in it. The lighter colored size 6 turquoise ring face is slightly over 1-1/2 inch long.

Neither ring is signed.

I’m almost afraid to take a guess, but they’re lovely. Could the greenish one be Royston? Maybe if I start the speculation someone else will jump in for fun.

I’ve seen turquoise with the black blocky matrix (don’t know if that’s actually matrix or host rock or whatever - I’m no expert) before on here, but cannot remember what it was. And those blue swirls are different.

Thanks so much Zia, for your feedback. I had almost given up hope anyone would have any ideas. (-:

The green stone also looks a little like the Sonoran Gold Turquoise I have, but Jason has said it is recent to the market. I don’t know how old your ring is, so that might not be an option.

I’ll have to see if I can find anything that resembles your blue stone.
