Artist/Tribe: Steve Arviso (Navajo)

Steve was born in 1963, in Gallup NM. He started making jewelry in 1987. Most of his designs come from his old friend and teacher Harry Morgan and his experiences of making fashion jewelry. His jewelry is always made with the high-grade turquoise and leaves the piece simple and beautiful.

Stone: Blue Diamond Turquoise

The Blue Diamond mine is located outside of Austin, Nevada and was first mined in the 1930's.  The mine is considered a “hat mine” of which there are very few. A hat mine is a small deposit of turquoise that “you can cover with your hat”. The stones that this mine produces, which are usually large pieces in plate form, look a great deal like Stormy Mountain Turquoise because of its black smoky matrix surrounded by a brilliant blue. After many years of being closed; Blue Diamond turquoise is once again being actively mined in limited quantities by the current owner.
