Stone:Dry Creek Turquoise
The Dry Creek Turquoise mine in Nevada was first discovered during the early 1990's by Nevada's Shoshone Native American tribe. Dry Creek had been mined for a number of years producing a creamy blue stone often with a golden or cocoa brown matrix.
Stone: Sonoran Gold Turquoise
Relatively new in the market, this beautiful turquoise comes in an aqua blue, lime green, and a two-tone blue and green. Unlike most turquoise, Sonoran Gold is not mined in veins, but rather as individual nuggets typically found in clay deposits. Sonoran Gold is mined in Mexico, near the City of Cananea.
