A raised rim separates that from the outer field, and the edge is scalloped with a fan stamp in every scallop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe turquoise is small and deliberately so. On a concho the silver is the subject, and the stone is there to give the eye a place to land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2.5 inches across it is a genuine statement piece, but the flat round form sits close to the chest rather than swinging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKingman is one of the oldest and best known Arizona mines, still producing, known for clean bright blue with dark matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChimney Butte is a Navajo (Dine) silversmith working out of New Mexico in a deliberately old style idiom: heavy gauge sterling, deep hand stamping, repousse, sandcast work, and good named mine turquoise. The mark is one of the most recognisable in contemporary Southwestern silver, which is part of why the work holds its value. Every piece is stamped Chimney Butte and Sterling on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt hangs from a wide stamped bail that takes a heavy chain, so it will sit on Navajo pearls, a thick box chain, or a leather cord without looking under hung. Worn alone it does all the work; it does not need layering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent.
