Spiny Oyster Copper Turquoise in Copper
Accented with Apatite and copper beads. A bit under 2 inches long.
Photographed outdoors and indoors.
I've had this stone for a while. The colors compliment one another beautifully and it looks almost looks like a summer sunset. I finally decided to wrap it up. I kept it simple, went with the flow of the stone, and added a few copper and apatite beads to accent.
Oyster Copper Turquoise is a composite stone of 2 natural materials. Turquoise from Arizona, and the Spiny Oyster shell from the Sea of Cortez off the Baja Peninsula. The Copper is naturally occurring in Turquoise from Arizona. It's what creates that vibrant blue hue. Turquoise from Nevada would have more of a green color due to the iron content.
