I sent a 'different' Chaco Turq ring back last month, very disappointed with all the extreme dark blotches..even though it was all Natural 'blotches', it was ugly...HOWEVER, this ring is Perrfect !! Absolutely worth $200 Plus with the art work on the substantial silver and the beautiful flawless turquoise stone. MADE in the USA by Native Americans/not CHINA. I am hrilled!!! It is a HIT or MISS with genuine Turquoise. TY HSN !! Happy Customer, for sure :)
