Help identify this turquoise?


Can anyone tell me what kind of turquoise
This necklace has???

This looks like it could be dry creek, but a picture with natural, outdoor lighting would help to identify this better.

thanks the 1st pic is exactly how it looks but i will take another as u say.

It most likely is a low grade sleeping beauty turquoise. It is that grade that gives it the lighter color associated with dry creek. The heishe is Taiwanese made.

ok good to know… how can you tell the quality of the heishi , because it is thicker? any value guess?
about 14" long

thanks!

It is really difficult to tell the heishe, a guess. You really need to see the heishe in person. This style is Navajo, you think of the artist who assembled the piece buying the heishe.
