~ The Number Eight (Number 8 or #8) turquoise mine in Eureka County, Nevada was discovered in 1925 and first mined in 1929. The mine produced some of the largest nuggets of turquoise ever discovered.  Almost all the turquoise produced is of the spider web type, with the matrix varying from golden brown to black. The colors grade from very light blue to very dark blue, some with interesting tints of green. At present, the #8 is closed to turquoise mining and is mined for gold.
~ Stamps: Mexico, Sterling, EMV, Delineated Eagle 83 *The more detailed “Delineated” Eagle was used prior to the “Silhouetted” Eagle.The piece is also inscribed "Tami" & "From Renee."
~ The dendritics site calculator estimates the Carat Weight of each cab at 7.44, so the bracelet has a Total Carat Weight of approximately 22.32.
~ The last photo (for reference only) depicts a wide variety of #8 mined Turquoise.
