Wholesale Lot 1 lb. of Genuine rough cut blue Turquoise Kingman, Landers, Sleeping Beauty, Nevada nuggets. 5752-TC
Turquoise is being sold for $450/pound and we just received a 2 lb. sample from Nevada mines offering to sell for $550/pound! That stone doesn't look any different from the quality Turquoise we are selling here. In fact most of the $550/lb stuff was pale and it had few quality nuggets. The only difference is we aren't looking to inflate the price of Turquoise, not to mention were selling older Turquoise from our 30 year old collection that comes from a time when higher quality stuff was still coming out of the mines in quantity.

This Turquoise collection is over twenty years old featuring a lot of Turquoise that can't be found anywhere else! This Turquoise once belonged to an old miner and we received this 5,000 pound Turquoise collection by way of his widow. This collection has some rare and valuable stuff. The Number 8 mine in Nevada closed down years ago making the Number 8 Nevada Turquoise highly collectible. The owner of the Lander's Blue Turquoise Mine extracted every last scrap of that Turquoise (which was a relatively small quantity) making Lander's Blue a rare and one of the most sought after varieties of Turquoise in the world. This Turquoise is perfect for making cabochons. Check out the fourth photo below to see some of the cabochons that we were able to make.
There are many legends about Turquoise; The Pima consider it to bring good fortune and strength and that it helped overcome illness. The Zuni believe that blue turquoise was male and of the sky and green turquoise was female and of the earth. Pueblo Indians thought that its color was stolen from the sky. In Hopi legend the lizard who travels between the above and the below, excretes turquoise and that the stone can hold back floods. The Apache felt that turquoise on a gun or bow made it shoot straight. The Navajo consider it as good fortune to wear and believe it could appease the Wind Spirit. |
