INFO
Kingman Turquoise

The Kingman mine in northwestern Arizona is one of the largest turquoise mines in North America. The term 'Kingman' or 'high blue' refer to the blue color usually displayed in the 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. Natural Kingman is very rare and highly collectible. Some of the finest specimens of Kingman were mined in the 60's. It is an intense blue with a black and silver matrix. This superb grade was found in an area called Ithaca Peak, which yielded the highest and hardest Kingman turquoise. This vein has been long exhausted. The Kingman mine re-opened in September 2004 after being closed since the 70's.
