Natural Turquoise is considered "Gem Quality" because it is hard enough to be cut into gemstones without stabilization.
King’s Manassa turquoise mine is located east of Manassa, Colorado. It was mined for centuries by indigenous people and is thought to be the oldest turquoise mine in Colorado.
This mine is no longer producing turquoise.
