Then you need to be patient. If anyone has anything to add in they possibly will eventually. For example, I often comment on things, but I was out town for work all weekend. People may not even have read your post. Or maybe they read your post, and agreed with what has already been said. Asking the question over and over is not going to get responses quicker.
Turquoise with pyrite in it narrows it down. Persian, Kingman, Ithaca Peak, and Morenci are mostly the ones that are known for having pyrite. I donât know what yours is of those. Persian is often high domed, Kingman is the most common type of American turquoise, so thatâs usually a good guess. Also, I donât think your pieces are Native American made. The silver work just doesnât look right for that.
And you say youâre very interested in learning, so if I were you, I would read and read and read old threads on this forum. Thereâs even a category about books to read to help you learn more about turquoise and Native American jewelry.
Now if you want anyone else to respond, your best bet is to just wait.
Thank you for the info you shared with me as for my patience it is perfectly fine. Thank you for your concerns.and i have been studying and reading all i can. I hope you have a good day.
Zia is correct. Sometimes there are very obvious characteristics to a stone that points to a particular mine and narrows the possibilities, but no one would bet their life on it without ironclad provenance.
@StevesTrail recently posted the following photo in another thread. It is a good example of why it is so difficult to pinpoint a specific mine. All of these stones are Blue Gem turquoiseâŚ
thank you for your post
