There are a few other mines, some still producing, some closed. They are scattered across Arizona, Nevada and into Mexico. Campitos is unique in several ways. It grows in clay as free-form nuggets, rather than as veins which is typical of many North American turquoises. Its color is said to most closely resemble Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, and ranges from a light to medium blue., occasionally with pyrite inclusions, giving it a bit of sparkle. Campito in Spanish is a derivative of the word "campo", meaning "field" or "countryside".  14 karat gold filled secure lobster clasp and one by one pearl wire wrapped handmade chain.
