Campitos Turquoise is a blue to blue-green turquoise that you will regularly find in Southwestern & authentic Native American handmade jewelry. Its color is said to most closely resemble Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, and ranges from a light to medium blue or blue/green with no matrix, and occasionally pyrite inclusions, giving it a bit of sparkle. A lovely, hard stone with beautiful color, Campitos is a favorite for jewelry artisans. The mine as we know it today, has been producing since the 1980's.
Since 1999 the Callidittos have been creating their own jewelry & is recognized for the stampwork, wire work & the beautiful finish given to the metal. Growing up in Crownpoint NM, Michael learned his craft from his father-in-law, uncles, family & friends.
