<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LoveTheHunt!, post: 10034676, member: 8191&quot;]I was blessed to win a few nice, big pieces of Southwestern Silver jewelry at a local estate auction. This is one of them: [ATTACH=full]503924[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]503927[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]503928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]503929[/ATTACH]&nbsp; I have 2 questions...</p><p>1) Can anyone ID the artisan: ?? Hawkes</p><p>2) The stones appear to be green turquoise, but with a deep bluish tint that is hard to capture in pictures. Someone suggested it might be malachite, but all the malachite I&#039;ve ever seen had different, more distinct pattern(s) than this. (I&#039;m no gemologist in any sense of the word.) I&#039;m also wondering if the bits of blue showing, mostly in the stone in 2nd picture, might be azurite?</p><p>As always, I am appreciative of any tips you guys can offer...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
