Vtg Native American Sand Cast Sterling Turquoise Cuff King's Manassa Kirk Smith
Incredible piece with large pieces of turquoise from the King Turquoise Mine, which has ceased operation. Kirk Smith has also passed, making this piece incredibly desireable.

This bracelet is in excellent vintage condition, with no flaws. The opening is about 1" wide, but can be adjusted to be larger or smaller.

Mined in South Central Colorado, King's Manassa Turquoise grows in green to blue-green veins running thru hard, golden brown host rock. The mine is not operational at this time, making Manassa a good find on today's market.
