Handmade Ring Stamped Sterling Silver Silicated Chrysocolla/Malachite gem silica

An amazing piece of silicated chrysocolla from Ray Mine in Arizona. It’s set perfectly in a bed of sterling silver with Navajo inspired stamp work on the band. All the stamps I use are vintage from the early 1900’s. I always wonder how many pieces were crafted using these. I am happy to keep them going. Every piece I make is from rough material to finish. I cut my own minerals, shape and polish them. I think this means a lot when it comes to a makers product. It makes the whole thing more powerful.
