I bought this beautiful pale blue turquoise teardrop cabachon on a recent trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  It was mined & cut by Andy Brown in the little town of Cerrillos, about 30 miles south.  I created a convertible necklace that can be worn with the stone in place or by itself.  In our modern world, it is rare to have "two degrees of separation" between the ground & the customer…..in this case, it is Andy & me!
