This natural turquoise specimen comes from the Kelly Brett Collection and is identified on its accompanying collection label as originating from Arizona, USA. The stone features vivid blue coloration accented by contrasting brown matrix, giving it a classic Southwestern appearance with strong natural character.

The specimen has a freeform, irregular nugget shape and measures approximately 1 inch x 1/2 inch x 3/8 inch. It weighs approximately 0.1 ounce, or 2.83 grams. One face has been polished to a smooth, glossy finish that enhances the depth and intensity of the blue coloration, while portions of the sides and reverse retain a more natural texture.

The combination of polished and natural surfaces makes this an attractive piece for a mineral or lapidary collection. Its size and form also make it suitable for wire wrapping, custom silversmithing, bezel setting, or another one-of-a-kind jewelry project.

The original collection label identifies the specimen as Natural Turquoise, gives the chemical formula CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O, lists the origin as Arizona, USA, records the weight as 0.1 oz (2.83 g), and gives the size as approximately 1 inch x 1/2 inch x 3/8 inch.
