Located in northeastern Nevada, this mine has produced some of the most coveted and distinctive turquoise in the world. Blue Gem turquoise is known for its deep blue color, often with hints of green, and its characteristic spiderweb matrix patterns. The mine gained popularity in the mid-20th century when its turquoise was highly sought after for use in Native American jewelry and art. The unique color and matrix patterns of Blue Gem turquoise have made it a favorite among collectors and jewelry artisans. While the mine is no longer in operation, the legacy of Blue Gem turquoise lives on through the exceptional pieces of jewelry and art created with its gemstones. Its beauty and rarity make Blue Gem turquoise a cherished gemstone, symbolizing the natural splendor and cultural significance of the American Southwest. The center stone measures around 5/8" x 3/8".
