An organic half-moon of Morenci turquoise, deep blue with a glittering web of iron pyrite, bezel set on a layer of sterling silver. Beaded sections of pyrite and blue tourmaline pick up the gold and blue in the stone.
Morenci is an Arizona mine famous for this deep blue color and its irregular pyrite matrix. Commercial turquoise mining there ended in 1984, so this is rare old-stock material.
The details

Pendant: about 1¼" wide × 0.7" tall, fixed in place so it always sits centered
