Inspired by ancient Aztec and Toltec symbols, Navajo jeweler Leonard Nez has created a bolo using his signature labor intensive overlay technique. The artist has selected a spectacular rare gem grade natural Apache Blue turquoise to place in a shadowbox with tremendous skill. The gem is from a small boutique mine discovered this summer in Nevada. It is a marvelous deep sky blue with smokey swirls of dark reddish-brown and spiderweb dark blue matrix. Quite often some of the finest turquoise comes from these tiny deposits. Five separate layers of overlay compliment the quality of the gem to perfection. We have the great privilege of representing Leonard Nez with this piece on page 86 of Dr. Gregory Schaff’s definitive new book American Indian Jewelry III: M-Z 2,100 Artist Biographies.
