High-grade and natural, rough rock turquoise is what this is. This nifty nugget was derived from the Stone Mountain turquoise deposits located in high deserts of Lyon County, Nevada. Nevada Cassidy discovered the stone and made the decision to, "Keep it real", which translates into, "Just touch it up and drill a small hole." After acquiring the nugget from Nevada, we brought Jamie Olson into the equation by asking him to open the hole up a bit and make a lanyard, so someone can show it off in the best way possible. That worked-out well.

About the artist:
James A. Olson - Jewelry/Sculpture Artist:
"About my work, or lack of, it chose me as much as I chose it. Asked where I get my ideas, I can't really say for sure. I'm thankful I get them once in awhile, and have the basic skills to carry them through to a satisfactory condition, at that point and time. I'm blessed, I love what I do, it's a passion. When that love and passion is not there, I'll do something else." See full biography | See all items by James A. Olson
