Made in the United States by MergingMetals of Asheville, NC. One copper electroformed Gunmetal Thunderbird with Turquoise Pendant Necklace on an 18" soldered gunmetal chain.
Turquoise has been used in religion, art, jewelry, trade and treaty negotiations for hundreds of years. Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December, and is heralded as the "Stone of Communication". It is said to encourage enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. A thunderbird is a legendary creature in various North American indigenous cultures, often depicted as a powerful, enormous bird capable of creating thunder and lightning by flapping its wings and shooting bolts from its eyes.
Thunderbirds measure approximately 1.10" x 1.25". Size, shape, and color may vary as no two stones are alike.
