Collection: Turquoise Mountain
The Turquoise Mountain Mine is located in the Mineral Park Mining District of Mohave County, Arizona. Situated near the famous Kingman Turquoise Mine , the Turquoise Mountain Mine shares similarities in mineral composition but offers unique characteristics that set it apart. Turquoise Mountain turquoise is light-to-high blue with both webbed and non-webbed matrix. “Birdseye” describes stones from this mine that show areas of light blue circled with darker blue matrix, resembling the eye of a bird. Even though this peak is part of the Kingman Mine, it is considered a “classic” mine in its own right because the turquoise is so different in appearance. This stone exhibits a beautiful range of color from pale blue to lime green in one piece that makes it a sought-after turquoise. While the mine has been in operation for decades, it is has had long periods of inactivity. In recent years, mining activity at the Turquoise Mountain Mine has resumed.
