The silent stones all have stories to tell...

Imagine a malachite dragon rising out of a sea of chrysocolla. (We found this dragon in a block of copper ore from the Ray mine, near Globe, Arizona.) Here's a gallery of other stones – made into jewelry and available in the Sun City Vistoso Gift Shop. Because these stones were created by nature, and the jewelry crafted by hand, each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. Art  you can wear.

#621
Arizona Peridot

Apaches mine some of the world's most beautiful peridot about 160 miles northeast of Oro Valley (as the raven flies) near the town of Peridot, Arizona, where these stones came from. Peridot, also called olivine, often has shades of yellow and brown, like the fruit of an olive tree. Peridot is a favorite birthstone choice for the month of August. This necklace is 18 inches long, with gold-filled beads and a lobster-claw clasp.




#609
Natural Turquoise

This necklace features beads and a cabochon of natural turquoise. The pendant, in sterling silver, has a pierced pattern representing the tree of life. Subtle curves of the metal give the pendant an interesting and sophisticated look.
