Appears to be Morceni turquoise with Iron and Quartz Matrix.
Morenci Turquoise is highly prized for its beautiful blue colors, which vary from a light to a very dark blue, and for its unusual matrix of iron pyrite or \"fool’s gold\" that, when polished, often resembles silver. It is very difficult to obtain now because the mine is depleted, making it a collectible turquoise.

The intense sky-blue of these Morenci turquoise stones is heightened by tiny white inclusions that give the stones an iridescent look, as though they\'re glowing from within. The subtle shades of blue are just gorgeous... there\'s nothing \"flat\" about the color of these cabochons!
It appears to have slight tarnishing (should be cleanable to your liking), stones in good condition, no cracks.
Only provide refunds if item not as described, thank you.
