The turquoise I am currently selling was purchased in 1976 from L.W. Hardy and mined from the Kingman Mine in Arizona.The mine was discovered by American Indians over 1000 years ago. It is known for its beautiful sky blue color and produces many variations of blue and green turquoise that has been used in Southwestern Turquoise Jewelry for as long as it has existed. Mr. Hardy was involved in the turquoise production throughout Arizona, including many of the Castle Dome and Sleeping Beauty mines, although his main focus was on the Kingman Mine.

For the last 48 years this turquoise has remained in its original packaging waiting patiently to be bought by you and used in your art or to be enjoyed as it is....whatever it may be, consider yourself purchasing a piece of American Southwest history.
