More Turquoise

How do I love thee ... your bold chunkiness and deep veins.  I'm seriously in love with this stone.  I've had contact with the blues, greens, and yellows, now I need to hold the pink and dark red.  These chunks are heavy so I used heavy duty nylon wire, and the rich bold veins run deep.  I priced a similar strand of chunkiness at a local bead shop - $1,182 - you read that right, my mouth is still hanging open.  This necklace sold in October 2010.
