NOTE- This piece has been in one family since its original trade from the Hualapai Tribe to Bill & Clara Brazell who were the owners at that time of the Hackberry General Store, Hackberry, AZ. 

This stunning Navajo sterling silver squash blossom necklace features a striking arrangement of blue turquoise stones, known for their vibrant hue and unique natural veining.
