A high-domed pear in mixed greens: a deep, cool green through the center, easing to mint and a soft blue-green that gathers along the lower left. A fine tan matrix webs across the upper half and down the right side, opening into small buff patches near the tip and toward the lower right, with a few dark flecks. The polish is bright and even over a full, rounded dome. Beneath it sits a flat black backing, ground smooth.
Emerald Valley turquoise, from Nevada. A small, active mine in the southwest of the state, near the Royston deposits, it is known for green turquoise running from deep forest green to brighter grass green, often webbed with tan to golden-brown matrix.
Standard-High grade, stabilized and backed, ready for a silversmith to set. The full dome and the length of the pear would carry well as a pendant, a bolo or a substantial ring.
