Stunning Navajo Natural Green Turquoise / Silver Vintage Necklace

This is a vintage American Indian Navajo Necklace of natural polished nuggets of green turquoise with brownish and golden matrix. The silver beads appear to be hand made. This necklace hangs and wears beautifully. It has been restrung from its original cotton twine, preserving all the original findings. I was told the stone was from the one green turquoise mine in CO that closed in the late l940's. 130 grams includes both turquoise and silver beads. Largest chunk is about 1 across.
