Extremely Rare Collectible Evans Turquoise Mineral Specimen
BRIEF HISTORY OF EVANS TURQUOISE
The most famous turquoise mine in Baja Mexico is the old Evans Mine in the Ensenada area along the northern coast. It is one of the few mines south of the California border that has yielded such a wide variety of turquoise. Evans turquoise looks much like the turquoise from some of the Nevada mines in America. The colors vary from a high blue with an exquisite brown matrix to a green with a lovely gold matrix. The formations range from very thin veins of dark blue turquoise to nuggets to flat specimens.
There is a limited amount of this material on the market because
the mine was covered up in the 1990's making Evans turquoise harder to acquire
and extremely collectible.
This stunning specimen weighs approximately 126 Carats
Natural unstabilized turquoise
