Ocean's Edge

"And then, the unspeakable purity - and freshness of the air!
There was just enough heat to enhance the value of the breeze,
and just enough wind to keep the whole sea in motion,
to make the waves come bounding to the shore,
foaming and sparkling, as if wild with glee."
~ Anne Bronte

*Whitewater turquoise (from the Whitewater mine, Mexico) is highly collectible and renowned for its high iron pyrite content.

Approx. 80% of the turquoise on the US market is Chinese in origin, making Mexican/American turquoise considerably rarer and more valuable, and also more likely to increase in value in the future.
