Unearth a piece of classic Arizona mining lore with this striking, raw Bisbee Turquoise matrix specimen. Found directly in the historic mining district of Bisbee, Arizona, this heavy, chocolate-brown to deep reddish-brown brecciated matrix holds veins and pockets of vibrant, shocking robin's-egg blue turquoise.
Weighing in at a substantial 236.60 carats, this piece has a bold and wonderful vibe—looking like an artifact pulled straight from a forgotten desert mine shaft. The rich contrast between the dark, iron-rich silicated host rock and the hidden flashes of brilliant blue makes it an absolute showstopper for mineral collectors and lapidary artists alike.
Whether you keep it intact as a high-vibe display piece for your cabinet of curiosities or slice it down to reveal the deep blue turquoise cabochons hidden inside, this genuine Bisbee rough is a rare find from a long-closed, legendary locality.
