The History

CaricoLake Turquoise comes out of Nevada and is famous for being only of the fewnaturally green forms of turquoise in the world. It was used by NativeAmericans and the mine at one point was even owned by Tiffany & Co.

SleepingBeauty Turquoise is known throughout the world for it\'s gorgeous solid bluehue. It is very similar in look to Persian Turquoise and just as rare due tothe perfect blue hues it has. This is a rare type of turquoise that we arelucky to find today!

The buckle is signed by the artist with the name of David.

The Piece

The buckle includes a large hand cabochon cut piece of natural green Carico Lake Turquoise as well as two smaller Sleeping Beauty Turquoise stones as the eyes of the lizard. The Carico stone has a vibrant green hue mixed with black matrix in areas.

The buckle is made of solid Sterling Silver and includes traditional Navajo Nation silver work including a hand shaped 3D Lizard motif that spans across the entire buckle. The design of the buckle is concave so the Lizard doesn\'t stick out and catch anything.

The buckle measures an astounding 3.5\" by 2 and 1/2\". The buckle fits up to a 1 and 3/4\" wide belt.
