I designed this cuff bracelet to feature a "ribbon-cut" piece of turquoise from the Hachita area of southern New Mexico. The vein of turquoise that runs across the rhyolite matrix stone is pale blue on the ends and dark green in the center, which Native Americans say represents Mother Earth and Father Sky. I photographed it sitting on a piece of unpolished rough rhyolite which has a vein of green turquoise running through it on the right end.
