Ithaca Peak Turquoise with Pyrite Ring

This is a true standout piece featuring one of the most distinctive and sought-after varieties of American turquoise. Mined from the famed Ithaca Peak area within the Kingman district of Arizona, Ithaca Peak Turquoise is especially prized for its rare and naturally occurring pyrite inclusions. These metallic flecks, often referred to as “fool’s gold,” are embedded within the stone and create a brilliant, sparkling contrast against the vivid blue background, making each piece unmistakably unique.

The color in this stone is exceptional, ranging from soft, cloud-like sky blues to deeper, richer tones that add depth and intensity. Scattered throughout are those signature pyrite inclusions, catching the light with a subtle shimmer that brings the entire piece to life. It’s this combination of vibrant color and natural metallic sparkle that makes this Ithaca Peak material so highly collectible.

George carefully cut this cabochon into a high-domed oval, a shape that enhances both the depth of color and the brilliance of the pyrite. The elevated profile allows light to interact with the inclusions from every angle, creating a dynamic, ever-changing surface.

Set in a simple sterling silver bezel, the design is clean and intentional, allowing the rarity and beauty of the stone to take center stage. The ring is finished with a thick, comfortable band, offering durability and ease of wear while maintaining a strong, elegant presence.

Rare, vibrant, and full of character, this is a collector-quality piece that embodies the very best of Ithaca Peak Turquoise. It is currently a size 7, but George offers free sizing with your purchase (within reason as to not compromise the structure of the design.)
