Tyrone turquoise is mined outside of Silver City in the southwest area of New Mexico. As with many turquoise mines, its original purpose was for copper mining. Turquoise is considered a secondary mineral of a copper mine. Is sterling silver real silver? The answer is yes. Fine silver is alloyed with copper to create sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This percentage of fine silver is why you will sometimes see sterling silver referred to as 925 or hallmarked with a 925 on your jewelry. Majority of the Native American jewelry you will see is made with sterling silver.
