    Description

    40 grams of the best water web, acid web, and super matrix of all the Bell/Maisel collection - largely Kings Manassa, Blue Diamond, and Bibsee etc . The pictures represent the quality that you will receive. I guarantee your satisfaction or your money back, and the material moves too fast in the local clientele for me to keep fresh pictures up here. This came from the old buckets of the Maisel and Bell Trading Posts and Sunbell on Route 66. I have 100 pounds of this that I will release to the public overtime. That’s it. Every time you buy one lot, I will personally hand label every single piece with the mine that we believe it to come from. The value of this material, rough, is about a carat. Let’s talk if you have questions, concerns, or comments.
    You are purchasing 40 g or 200 carats of the most high grade, waterweb and high-Acid web turquoise that we have pulled out of our vintage Bell buckets. This sale is 40 g of incredible “watermark” turquoise: all American mines from the Bell collection. What you see in the pictures is a very accurate example of what you will get, and your satisfaction is guaranteed, or your money back! Every single lot is unique, and many lots have lots of Bisbee mixed in. Your price today is 9. Sale price!
    Hand picked from the buckets that we purchased, originating from the Michelson family - that is the family that owned the famous Bell Trading Post on Rt 66 from the Great Depression (1932), all the way to 1979 when the company closed as “Sunbell”. They also bought out all scrap turquoise from Maisel in 1972, so some it can trace to that turquoise as well. It’s an incredible story, and it was an incredible find in the back of an old warehouse some ways outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Custody listed below.
    On the technical side, some of this material will need backing to thicken it. It’s good solid material, it’s not paperthin. This is incredibly historic material. The actual turquoise that you are buying, and that you see pictured, comes from King Manessah, Morenci, Bisbee, the Lavender Smoky pit, Ithaca Peak, Kingman, and more. The beauty of this pound is that it will come completely sorted so even though you’re looking at the beautiful turquoise that you were actually going to buy, when you receive it it will be more exciting as each piece will be individually packaged and labeled. This is all gem quality, the highest grade of all the stabilized material that came from the old Bell Trading Post factory. It does not get any better than this, we hand picked a small amount of “water mark” like this for a friend, And felt inspired to make a few releases the best Bell turquoise - for the first time. This is the best of the best. I’m keeping it in the family price range, but you’re welcome to make an offer.
    It is very Important to know that this material is constantly being sorted out of the many old buckets and barrels. If you make this purchase, it can take us up to one week to get your order shipped because your material is literally being pulled out of the buckets live!Our chain of custody and command is documented to an estate of Bell Trading Post, Sunbell, Maisel Indian Trading Post, and all direct -to-mine purchases by the Michelson family. Pictures are exactly the same quality that you will receive. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.
