Some say there are Egyptian relics that have been found in Arizona’s Grand Canyon…

I see there's some experts here and I was hoping for some insight. The first two photos are a piece that I think "might be" real but the back side is confusing me. The second two photos I'm 99.9% are not real, but I busted one open thinking it was going to be resin (there was a vague chemical smell with the needle test). Color goes all the way through ,but it is sparkly. So, reconstituted maybe? Any insight would help.

I inherited this a few years back

Thrift store

How old it this necklace? Who made it?

The wood for these is naturally fallen Walnut and curly Maple.

Picked up from 2nd Street

What do you think?

I primarily use Kingman for the inlay. The jewelry is from people that bought them.

Originally posted in r/NativeAmericanJewelry but would like to get more experts opinions on the stones themselves…do these actually look like natural sleeping beauty turquoises?

Found this necklace today at the thrift for a few dollars. The clasp is sterling. They don't seem to be resin due to the weight. Thought they could be some kind of dyed stone though. Does the patterning and coloring look good for actual turquoise?

New to making earrings 🥰

Stamp QT, what are your thoughts? Is it legit turquoise? I found articles this company was founded by a Vietnamese business man. Company is out of Albuquerque, NM. Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Any ideas on what these might be? Possibly Royston on the green one?

But of course it is variscite and with a hidden surprise on the back :)

We got an old estate collection of Native American and anglo-southwestern stuff a couple of days ago and I'm trying to ID some of the turquoise. the native American stuff is heavy gauge old stuff... nothing is hallmarked. This bolo is the first piece and is ultra heavy gauge and old enough that some of the oxidation has turned into almost like black lacquer paint - at 1¾ in tall and 1¼ inches at the widest point the top, the weight is still over 30 G. The turquoise piece is about an inch tall by 5/8 across the wide side.

this is an old piece so file marks are visible across the top of the turquoise I'll try to take a picture where the glare is minimal..

I have a little bit of an addiction to turquoise, lol. I’m certain all but the blue and brown stone pendant are authentic Native American made. It’s stamped sterling but the metal is a bit too warm toned irl for sterling. The turquoise and coral pendant also rubs me a bit the wrong way for native made (I think the stones look a bit too uniform and shiny) but it was relatively inexpensive and will get a good amount of wear so I grabbed it. Any opinions are appreciated! I’d post on the Native American sub but it’s not stamped.

Some gorgeous cloud chaser turquoise I've been working on. I love the hues of blues this material gives. Still an amateur at this lapidary hobby, but it's so much fun.
