Geneva Apachito
Geneva Apachito, born in 1969 in Socorro, New Mexico, was raised in Alamo. She learned the art of silversmithing from her mother, Genevieve Apachito. In addition to crafting stunning cluster earrings and rings, Geneva also hand-makes the cones that complete the Bonecutter neckwear, showcasing her dedication to traditional techniques and artistry.
Lapis:
Lapis lazuli is a rock composed primarily of lazurite, calcite, and pyrite, with possible additional minerals like diopside and feldspar. It is prized for its rich blue hues, ranging from slightly greenish blue to violetish blue, and can include glinting pyrite flecks or a calcite matrix. The finest lapis lazuli comes from Afghanistan, which has been a traditional source for thousands of years, while other significant locations include Chile and Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia. Minor sources can be found in Angola, Canada, Colorado (USA), and Pakistan. Its hardness ranges from 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for various jewelry applications. More Info
