Turquoise is found in its natural state in places with dry climates around the world. It can be mined in the U.S., Mexico, Iran, Chile, China, and Tibet. While the characteristics of each stone are very similar, different mines produce slight variations of turquoise.
We love turquoise from all places. Over the years we have collected turquoise from a variety of turquoise mines throughout the state of Nevada and elsewhere. Some of the turquoise has been rock hounded by the Nevada Cassidys. And some stones have come through trade or purchased to make cabochons. Expanding into stones from other mines gives us the opportunity to see how turquoise forms from around the world and gives eyes a break from what we are used to seeing.
