Artist/Tribe: Andy Cadman (Navajo)
Andy was born in 1966, in Gallup, NM. His brothers Darrell and Donovan Cadman, as well as Gary and Sunshine Reeves are all silversmiths. He is the oldest of his brothers, so his stamp work is very deep and wild. His heavy and fine stamp work are popular with high grade turquoise.
Stone: Sonoran Gold Turquoise
Relatively new in the market, this beautiful turquoise comes in an aqua blue, lime green, and a two-tone blue and green. Unlike most turquoise, Sonoran Gold is not mined in veins, but rather as individual nuggets typically found in clay deposits. Sonoran Gold is mined in Mexico, near the City of Cananea.
