Sonoran Mountain Turquoise is a high-quality turquoise variety mined in Sonora, Mexico. It often features a mix of vibrant blue and green hues, sometimes with a striking black or brown matrix therefore giving it a more traditional look with blue dominance.

Arnold Blackgoat’s great grandfather was Moses Blackgoat.  He was the first silversmith in the Blackgoat family. Moses was from the Lupton area and started making jewelry in the early 1900s. The art of jewelry making has been passed down generation to generation. He started to silversmith at the age of eight, by helping his grandmother, Helen Blackgoat, his mother Jenny Blackgoat, and his well-known uncle, Carson Blackgoat. He is known for his precise free hand stamping, using only the highest grade stones and heavy gauge silver.
