A little history about Kingman Turquoise for you :)
The Kingman Turquoise Mine is the oldest working mine and highest producing turquoise mine in the world, originally discovered by prehistoric Indians over 1500 years ago. The superior properties of the Kingman turquoise set the standard for quality worldwide, as all turquoise traded is measured against Kingman turquoise as world currencies are measured against the dollar.
Kingman Turquoise is known for its beautiful pure turquoise colors ranging from bluish green to sky blue. The many variants of green and blue turquoise are known for the finest matrix patterns of pure turquoise with often little to no markings, webbing, or matrix, making it very valuable and sought after. Kingman Turquoise is mined from the copper rich rock formations of the Kingman Turquoise Mine in Kingman Arizona, which lies along prehistoric Native American trade routes. Natural Kingman Green Turquoise captures the magic and mystery of the ancient Southwest.
Turquoise is known to be the purification stone of peace and serenity, a gentle guiding light that inspires self-care and self-confidence.
