Sagittarius
The Archer is brilliant at public relations. They tend toward the excessive,
expressing it as carefree, adventurous and searching. With their expansive
nature, they are freedom loving and fortunate because of this attitude, yet very
judgmental of others. They enjoy traveling and exploration, because their minds
are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious
and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their
strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being
affected.

Castle Dome Turquoise
Most of Arizona’s turquoise mines are actually large open pit copper mines
that the turquoise deposits are leased .The company or person with the lease
is called in to mine the turquoise when they hit a pocket of it as they are
copper mining. This is a mine that was very active back in the 1970’s. Being
in Albuquerque in the turquoise business in the 1970’s was very interesting,
lots of stone! We bought turquoise from people that would show up at our
shop, we would buy it out of their trunks of cars, pick up truck beds, hoods
of cars in parking lots.
Bisbee Turquoise
The Bisbee mine "the Lavender Pit", near Bisbee, Arizona, is one of the more
famous of the American mines because Bisbee turquoise (also known as "Bisbee
Blue" registered name) was one of the first put onto the market. The turquoise
mine is part of the Bisbee copper mine (The Copper Queen), the main operation of
the site. Bisbee turquoise has developed a reputation as a hard, finely webbed
or dendrite, high blue stone, known for its "chocolate brown" matrix. Bisbee
Turquoise also comes in a beautiful dark green color. Most of this turquoise has
already been mined and what is left is in limbo due to circumstances with the
copper mining in the open pit, it is one of the most highly collected stones.
Most jewelry being made with this stone today is being made via the orders of
the current owners of the mine, the rest (such as ours, which is all hand cut
and mounted by Durango Silver Co.) is found through old "stashes" or collections
that have been obtained.
Morenci Turquoise
Morenci Turquoise is mined in southeastern Arizona. It is high to light blue
in color. Morenci has an unusual matrix of irregular black pyrite that, when
polished, often looks like silver. Morenci turquoise is well known because
it was one of the first American turquoises to come on the market. It is
very difficult to obtain now because the mine is depleted. It is a
collectible turquoise.
Kingman Turquoise
The Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona was one of the largest turquoise mines
in North America. The terms "Kingman" or "high blue" refer to the blue color
usually displayed in this stone. It has become a color standard in the industry.
The mine became famous for its rounded, bright blue nuggets with black matrix.
Few turquoise mines produced nuggets, especially of this quality. Old natural
Kingman Turquoise is rare. The Colbaugh's own this mine and the Turquoise
Mountain mine, their company name is Colbough Processing. They have recently
gone back into the section of the Kingman mine and are digging and bringing our
some new Natural Kingman Turquoise.
Ithaca Peak Turquoise
The Ithaca Peak mine is located in northwestern Arizona above the Kingman
mine. The Ithaca Peak mine is famous for its beautiful blue with pyrite
matrix. This material is outstanding. It is owned and operated by the
Colbaugh's. It is fairly rare to get good Ithaca Peak as main production is
focused on Turquoise Mountain. When you do get good Ithaca Peak it is very
pricey!
Sleeping Beauty Mine Turquoise
The Sleeping Beauty mine is located near Globe, Arizona. Its turquoise is
noted for its solid, light blue color with no matrix. Sleeping Beauty
turquoise is the favorite of the Zuni Pueblo silversmiths for use in petit
point, needlepoint, and inlay jewelry. This mine is one of the largest in
North America and is still operating.
Blue Bird Turquoise
Mine
The Blue Bird Turquoise mine is a small "ma and pa" operation that nobody knows
a whole lot about. We have however been able to back up the mines existence
through several reputable gem dealers, miners and artists. We have bought around
50 lbs of the material over the years. It is wonderful medium sky blue to dark
blue with quarts and occasionally pyrite inclusions. VERY PRETTY stuff.
Turquoise Mountain and "Birdseye"
Turquoise Mountain and "Birdseye" turquoise come from the same mine in
northwestern Arizona near the Kingman mine. The mine was closed in the
1980s. It 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 dark blue matrix, resembling the eye of a bird. It is a
beautiful addition to one's collection.

I find that
many times using a string of "beads" made from crystal healing stones, or
individual pieces work extremely well for whatever the crystal healing stone is
intended to do. When you think of it, these beautiful pieces are made from
the best of the stones, and you receive many more of the stones when they are in
a string than you would with just one stone, so value wise, it is much better
on the finances. These are just those types of strings and pieces

AJAX TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Ajax mine is located in south-central Nevada in the Royston area. This mine
is relatively new and yields stones from light blue with darker blue veins to a
predominately dark green with light blue veins. The dark green with light blue
veins is considered quite unusual for turquoise.
BISBEE TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Bisbee mine, near Bisbee, Arizona, is one of the more famous of the American
mines because it was one of the first to be put on the market. Bisbee turquoise
is a significant by-product of the Lavender Pit copper mine that is now closed.
Bisbee turquoise is famous for its deep blue color and its smoky black matrix.
Most of this turquoise has already been mined, and is one of the most highly
collectible stones.
BLUE GEM TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Blue Gem mine was located approximately 6 miles south of Battle Mountain,
Nevada, within a large copper-mining operation. Blue Gem mine produced almost
every shade of green and blue from intense blues to deep green combinations with
a hard, irregularly distributed matrix. Of the several Nevada mines that are
named Blue Gem, the Battle Mountain Blue Gem mine, which began production in
1934, yielded the most valuable Blue Gem turquoise because of its rich color and
hardness. This mine is now closed and is highly sought after by collectors.
CANDELARIA TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Candelaria turquoise mine is a small Nevada mine that produces very little
stone and is only occasionally worked. The turquoise is of good quality and is a
high blue color with an intermittent black or brown, non-webbed matrix. Because
it is not frequently available it is considered collectible.
CARICO LAKE TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Carico Lake turquoise is named after the location of its mine on a dried up lake
bed in a high, cool area of Lander County, Nevada. It has been marketed under
names such as Aurora and Stone Cabin. It's clear, iridescent, spring-green color
is due to its zinc content and is highly unique and collectible. Carico Lake
turquoise is also found in a dark blue-green color with a black, spider web
matrix. The Carico Lake mine is primarily a gold producing mine but from time to
time the mining company leases the turquoise producing part of the mine to
individual miners who are permitted to work that part. The limited amount of
turquoise and time allowed to mine it make Carico Lake turquoise a valuable
addition to one's collection.
Mines in this district also produce faustite, an apple-green mineral similar to
turquoise but identified as a separate mineral in 1953.
CERRILLOS TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Cerrillos Turquoise mine is located between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New
Mexico. It is one of the most famous prehistoric mining districts in the
American Southwest. It has a history entwined with both the ancient Native
people of the Southwest and more recent American mining companies.
Cerrillos turquoise was created and mined under unusual circumstances. It is the
only turquoise that formed at the base of a volcano; thus, a variety of colors
developed from the minerals in the various volcanic host rocks. Seventy-five
colors have been identified, from tan to khaki-green to rich, blue-green to
bright, light colors. Cerrillos turquoise is a very hard stone that takes a good
polish.
In addition to producing a distinctive stone, the Cerrillos turquoise mine is
the oldest mine of any kind in North America. Located ten miles south of Santa
Fe, Cerrillos was the site of the largest prehistoric mining activity on the
continent because the huge turquoise deposit was partially exposed on the
surface. Pueblo people mined the are extensively between 1300 and 1600 A.D.
Pueblo miners from the San Marcos Pueblo, who later moved to the Santo Domingo
Pueblo south of Santa Fe, most heavily worked the mine. Pueblo miners removed
100,000 tons of solid rock to create a pit mine 200 feet deep. An incredible
feat considering they only used stone axes, mauls, antler picks and chisels.
They dug other vertical shafts into the ground to reach veins of turquoise.
Miners carried tools and leather rock baskets on their backs as they climbed in
and out of the shafts using notched logs as ladders. The turquoise obtained here
by the early Pueblo miners was traded from Mexico to the Midwest and from the
east and west coasts. In New Mexico, many pieces of Cerrillos turquoise for
personal use and trade have been unearthed in the prehistoric ruins of Pueblo
Bonito in Chaco Canyon. The Pueblo people continued to extract turquoise from
the Cerrillos mine until the 1870's when a silver mining boom raised an interest
in the area. The Tiffany Company in New York and its associates bought up the
mine area and extracted $2,000,000 worth of turquoise between 1892 and 1899.
There are more than two hundred dig sites located there and the largest and most
famous are the Blue Bell, Castilian and Tiffany mines.
CRIPPLE CREEK TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Cripple Creek turquoise mine is located in Teller County, Colorado and was
discovered when miners looking for gold in the area also found turquoise
deposits. Two separate mines are currently active in the area both under the
Cripple Creek name.
DAMELE TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Damele {also known as Damali} mine is located in east-central Nevada near
the Carico Lake mine. Damele turquoise is quite distinctive because the zinc
content turns the stone yellow-green and increases its hardness. The matrix of
Damele is webbed with a dark brown to black matrix. The mine is small, thus its
availability is limited. Due to its rare color, Damele is a collectible
turquoise.
DRY CREEK TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Dry Creek turquoise mine is located on the Shoshone Indian Reservation near
Battle Mountain, Nevada. Discovered in 1993, they were not sure what it was.
Because of its hardness, it was decided to send it to have it assayed and it was
in fact, as thought, turquoise. It was not until 1996 that it was used in
jewelry. Turquoise gets its color from the heavy metals in the ground where it
forms. Dry Creek turquoise forms where there are no heavy metals present, which
turns out to be a very rare occurrence. The lack of any specific color
consistency makes this stone distinctive and unique from other turquoises. To
date, no other vein of this turquoise has been discovered anywhere else and when
this current vein runs out, that will be the last of it. Because this turquoise
is as rare as the sacred buffalo, the Indians
ENCHANTMENT TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Enchantment turquoise mine is located near the town of Ruidosa, in the
Sacramento Mountains of southeastern New Mexico. A gold miner while prospecting
in 1958 "rediscovered" the "Lost Mine of Enchantment". It was first identified
on an 1895 map as "old Indian diggings". It is the first new mine discovered in
New Mexico since the days of Coronado in the 1500's. The mine remained a
well-kept secret until1997 when the miner visited the Turquoise Museum in
Albuquerque and asked why the museum didn't display turquoise from Lincoln
County, New Mexico. He was told that there were no known turquoise deposits in
Lincoln County. He later returned with samples and the Lowry family, owners of
the Turquoise Museum, acquired the claim. Today, the Lost Mine of Enchantment
produces a medium grade turquoise that often shows a deep green color with tan
or golden brown matrix. Yet, it can also range to a deep, rich blue. The green
is influenced by the iron content in the stone and the blue by the copper
content. They call it "Sacred Buffalo" Turquoise.
FOX TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Fox is on of Nevada's most productive turquoise mines. In the 1940's, Dowell
Ward purchased the old Cortez claims and developed them using the names Fox,
White Horse, Green Tree and Smith to differentiate among the colors produced in
the area and to create a larger perceived share of the turquoise market. The
area produces a huge amount of good quality green or blue-green stone with a
distinctive matrix.
KINGMAN TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Kingman mine is located in Mohave County in western Arizona. The copper
mining in the Mineral Park Mining District around Kingman has produced a larger
supply of turquoise throughout the years. The matrix of most Kingman is
naturally white but is usually dyed to black with shoe polish.
INDIAN MOUNTAIN TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The best known of the contemporary mines was originally discovered in 1970's by
a Shoshone sheepherder who stumbled upon a vein of turquoise on a hillside while

descendants still work the claim. King's Manassa turquoise is best known for its
rich, brilliant greens and golden matrix. Blue and blue-green turquoise has been
found amid these deposits as well.
MORENCI TURQUOISE, email for pieces
Morenci turquoise is mined in southeastern Arizona, Greenlee County. It is high
to light blue in color with an unusual matrix of irregular iron pyrite or
"fool's gold" matrix that when polished often looks like silver. The name is
derived from the large open pit Morenci copper mine where a great deal of
turquoise from Morenci has been of the "lunch box" variety - carried out by
workers and miners. Morenci turquoise is well known; it was one of the first
American turquoises to come on the market and is often difficult to obtain
because the mine is now depleted. Morenci turquoise is a collectible.
NUMBER 8 TURQUOISE, email for pieces
The Number 8 turquoise mine is in Calin, Nevada, and was at one time a gold and
copper mining operation on the west side of the Tuscarora Mountain Range. It was
a large mining district encompassing ten 20-acre claims and was active from the
1930's through the early 1950's. The mine has produced one of the most prized
spider web turquoise deposits in the world. In its prime, enormous nodules were
found, including one that weighed 150 pounds. Number 8 turquoise is famous for
its black, golden-red and brown spider web matrix set off with the unique bright
powder blue turquoise background. The mine is now depleted and Number 8
turquoise is extremely valuable.

since the early 1980's when Phelps Dodge changed its method of copper ore

stashes. It is a medium blue in its high grade form. Today, it is valued both
