TURQUOISE AMBER BRACELET
This is a adjustable bracelet of natural amber and dyed turquoise
weight 105 cts app
Length 90 mm app
The turquoise occurs as vein or seam fillings, and as compact nuggets; these are mostly small in size. While quite fine material—rivalling Iranian material in both colour and durability—is sometimes found, most American turquoise is of a low grade (called "chalk turquoise"); high iron levels mean greens and yellows predominate, and a typically friable consistency precludes use in jewellery in the turquoise's untreated state. Arizona is currently the most important producer of turquoise by value, with the vivid Bisbee Blue being a good example of the state's natural endowment; much of the Arizona material is recovered as a byproduct of copper mining. Currently the only two active Turquoise mines in the world exist in the state.The first is the Kingman Turquoise Mine which was started up again on the back of the copper mine in the area. The other is the Sleeping Beauty Mine found near Globe. Both mines work together in order to better pull out the material and both have been finding some of their best material in decades, including material out of the Kingman mine similar to what was once found in the Ithica Peak mine

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
