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: Stabilized Turquoise Mountain Turquoise
Turquoise Mountain mining started in the 1970's. The color is light-to-high blue with both webbed and non-webbed matrix. Birdseye describes stones from this mine that show areas of light blue circled with darker blue matrix, resembling the eye of a bird. Even though this peak is part of the Kingman Mine, it is considered a classic mine in its own right because the turquoise is so different in appearance.
Note: This ring is sized according to US standards.
