Description: Vtg Native American Sand Cast Sterling Turquoise Cuff King's Manassa Kirk Smith Gap is 1.25" Inner circumference is 5.5" Incredible piece with large pieces of turquoise from the King Turquoise Mine, which has ceased operation. Kirk Smith has also passed, making this piece incredibly desireable. This bracelet is in excellent vintage condition, with no flaws. The opening is 1.25" wide, but can be adjusted to be larger or smaller. Mined in South Central Colorado, King's Manassa Turquoise grows in green to blue-green veins running thru hard, golden brown host rock. The mine is not operational at this time, making Manassa a good find on today's market. Kiyaa Alani Shush Dine (his Dine tribe name, meaning “towering house bear people clan”), His work is highly regarded for its quality craftsmanship and his use of stones of only the highest quality and richest coloring. Kirk’s pieces, primarily his concho belts for which he was best known, have long been coveted and collectible, with their value only increasing as a result of his unexpected, early death
