A semi-precious stone, known for its true Robin's egg Blue. Our turquoise is some of the last full vein, full cut turquoise that is offered on the market. It comes from the Kingman Mines, in Arizona. The mine is also home to a copper (or “ferrous”) vein, which brings warmth to the stone which is usually found in more of a cool blue coloring. If veining is present, our veining is more orange or brown (vs the typical turquoise currently on the market, which is black).
